Also, should Robyn Gordon Gevillea be pruned? Mine, planted 4 years

It should definitely be pruned regularly. You can prune it quite hard and it
will reward you very quickly. However -- I would not prune it in high summer.
Prune it after its next flush of flowers just to tidy it up, and give it a
heavier structural prune in cooler weather.
