In contrast, another section of the garden that was never pruned, has kept its blooms or maybe continued to bloom without the trauma of being pruned.

CONCLUSION: if legginess drives you crazy, go ahead and prune but no later than Sep. If you don't want to bother, then don't, as it seems vincas will continue to bloom until a killing frost.
