    Laura on Garden Answer (You Tube) says PRUNE HARD in spring, take them back to about 12 inches in height. She has these "all over the place" and loves them. They have high pH soil, and it tolerates that just fine. She's a fan of their blue-green leaves and loves tucking stems into bouquets They're in high desert, but they irrigate.
