I have a gorgeous and obscenely healthy ceanothus of the low growing
variety (repens??) growing at the front of my main border. It has
notions of world domination, and is in the process of crawling over
everythign else. I would like to prune it but am not sure how or when.
any advice?


They don't like hard pruning so poco a poco would be the answer. Take a
little off each year after flowering. IME, they are utter thugs for the
most part but total cowards when you wave the secateurs at them!
