My plant is huge, about 3ft x3 ft or a little more. I decided to try and trim it some this spring. I cut off a lot of the dead under stems, if that makes sense. Now its blooming well but all flopped over and looking yukky. Could I give it a severe hair cut now or is it too late to do so. I don't want to kill it. I read it needs to be pruned in late winter. Any advice would be useful.

Ok its more like 4 ft across.
what type of plant is it ?
Yes, you can prune it anytime it will do just fine.
Then I will as its huge and very floppy at present.

Sometimes if the plant looks good but needs a trim, I cut 1/2...ofcourse it is hard to know when to stop!
My Lady Banksia Rose just got a severe trim - already new growth is appearing. Seems there was a lot of dead hiding underneath.
