Prune the Ganges Primrose

Here's the deal with this stuff.  This year, I intend to establish Ganga beds instead of letting it walk all over.  It grows by putting out shoots, at a terrific rate, blooming its head off, and then, when its established itself nicely in a node at the other end of the shoot, that shoot turns to a hideous bony white skeletal stem.  I intend in the future to establish actual beds for it, surround it with some clean dirt for growing space, and then keeping it pruned back before the blooming season.  I got the most fantastic blooms off the Ganga I heavily pruned (attempting to make it into the topiary of a lion.) So: bed, mulch, prune.
