Asked on 22 Sep, 2008
This question is on Lavatera trimestris
Would some one be able to advise me when is the best time in the year for drastic pruning on a lavatera bush that has got quite out of control? Thanks

For really hard pruning, early spring is the best time, once the threat of hard frosts has passed. You can be really ruthless with it, taking it down to something like twelve inch stumps. In the meantime, you could reduce it by about a third now to prevent winter storms smashing it to pieces
