When and how to prune Flax/ Contemporary plants

Pruning flax and contemporary plants will depend on the variety of plant that is to be pruned.    However,  in regard to most strappy leaf plants like flaxes they can be pruned and the best time to prune them is at a time of year when they are actively growing.    Avoid pruning in cool periods like winter.  Pruning is best done in spring.     Flaxes grow from a number of clumping roots which expand over time.     If you find that your flax leaves have become very ragged as they can over time.  It is best to prune flax leaves hard to the crown of the plant.   This will mean that no leaves are left on the plant, however if the plant receives good care it will regenerate and new leaves will develop over a number of months.
