Joan, if they have been in your garden for a full year then yes, by all means prune them lightly. But if you have only just planted them, then they need time to settle and re home themselves to get over the shock of transplanting, in which case rather wait until next April to give them a light pruning. After that, you can cut them back quite hard, but not yet.

Thanks Tara, I bought them last year, so will prune them lightly but keep them in the same containers I think, they can stay there for this summer... will just add more compost and fertilizer....
