Still not a gardener but have one of these which we would like to come again next year. According to one web page we have read it is too late now to make it flower again. But is it?... Does one of you good people know different . If so what can we up in Northumberland do to encourage it to flower again. Thanks in anticipation.

It`s much ,much easier to buy another one at Christmas, as they have to be in complete darkness for regular periods and really not worth all the trouble.

If you haven't cut your Point back, initially in March and trimmed it again in the past few weeks you are as carlton writes, too late. If you have done this then there are more things to do. It does take a lot of thought and diligence to get your points to re-flower but you can grow some excellent examples!! and it's very satisfying.
