Q: When is the best to prune shrubbery?
A: While this question involves a rather lengthy answer, a short answer would be spring blooming shrubs should be pruned after the blooms have fallen off , i.e. June. As for summer blooming specimans such as Crape Myrtles we typically prune these back in late march to early April. We can cut back perennials typically after they have bloomed. Sometimes we leave ornamental grasses over the winter to add interest to a garden, but you can certainly cut back grasses late in the fall. As for most evergreen hedges and other shrubs we typically prune in late spring and again in late fall
