Default Bush Mallow pruning

Hi

I have 2 Bush Mallows that grew to about 6' tall last year. I've
left them since as I believe this is what should be done and then
pruned quite hard in Spring. Is it too early to prune now?

Assuming that you mean shrubby Lavateras (Bush Mallow is the US
vernacular name for Malacothamnus), I'd suggest waiting until they
come into growth, when you can see how what parts of the shoots have
been frosted.


Yes, I did mean Lavateras. Thanks for advice - I'll leave them alone )
