If you think the hedge is overgrown, use a pruning saw to cut each plant

My wife loves the white flowers but it's crowding the driveway so I
have to lop off a foot or more to trim it back on the sides.

On the top, I just want it to look neat'ish.

The flowers are just starting.
Is now a 'good' time of year to trim them?


It will not bloom continuously all summer. Wait until it stops blooming
before cutting it.
