I have a mature Lavatoria bush which has finished flowering very early this year ; any suggestions on pruning please ?

I cut mine half back in the autumn, to avoid wind-rock, then very hard back in early spring. I have Lavatera 'Cynthia Nixon', and she's grown about 10' from the base this year!

You don't need to - they'd even grow back from a little stump! I look for the first growth on each branch and saw it off to that.
