I have a long row of 12 and a patch of 5 Mediterranean pink heathers in my west facing front yard in Zone 7, southeastern PA. They have really grown too large and I was wondering if they could be cut back into the woody part after they finish blooming in the spring to reduce the size. I'm thinking the answer is no, but am holding out hope that the answer is yes.

I believe it can be pruned after blooming. I don't know how severely, however.

I think it's best to wait until spring, after the threat of frost has passed to thin, or prune Darley Dale Heath (Erica 'Mediterranean Pink')
