When would you prune caryopteris x clandonensis?
" A summer-flowering shrub.
Fluffy blue flowers carried on new wood.
You'd have to prune it late.
After it had flowered but probably not in winter lest its wood be damaged by frost.
If it were pruned in spring it would then send out the new wood that would carry its late summer flowers."
