Partially deciduous in cold winter. Head back lightly after bloom only as needed to promote a more excellent shape. Unlike C. pulcherrima, don't severely prune the 'desert bird' as it is slower to recover. Because the stem wood of this shrub is SO brittle, one can easily prune this shrub with bare hands!
