Can anyone give me advice on how to prune Ceanothus autumnal blue?

I have a wall-trained shrub, 7 feet tall, but it's looking decidedly
ragged
with only a few leaves remaining, mostly at the top of each branch.

I've trimmed off all the dead bits, but I'm not sure what to do with the
remaining stems.

Thanks.


Odd, I have one of these, and it's covered in leaves and is in full bloom
( it blooms again in the autumn - can't figure out why they call it Autumnal
Blue when it flowers in spring AND autumn ). Autumnal blue is evergreen,
so I would be inclined to think that yours is most unhappy about something.
What is its situation/aspect/soil?

Andy.
