What is correct way to prune it

Thanks

 

Think it's a Hebe (Albicans maybe).If you live in a warm part of the UK probably ok to prune now. If you live as I do in a colder part I wouldn't prune until next Spring.It looks pretty leggy to me so I'd prune it to about 6 inches from the soil and then feed the plant. Hasten to add I am not a Hebe expert and others might suggest a different treatment.

 

Thanks for the reply and information

 

Passport Hebes can get very leggy .I prune mine back in early April , as Silu to about 6 inches from the ground.

 

My experience with Hebes is that really they dont like hard pruning.
I'd prune back a few stems and see if they reshoot.
If they do, then I would cut it all hard back next spring.

 

Thanks for the additional replies
I agree with HarryS - mine had got very leggy
I pruned it back yesterday - about 6 inches from the ground.
