Need Pruning Advice

Hi All,

The snails offer a bit of unwanted help.  There are no bunnies or deer to 
help me prune, which is good because I prefer to the job myself.  I've found 
books that tell HOW to prune, but I haven't figured out when to prune some of 
my plants, especially the ones that have barely noticeable flowers. 

Last year, I followed advice to cut Coprosma pumila 'verdi vista' way back.  
It has shown hardly any growth for the year.  Would anyone tell me when, and 
how often I should prune Coprosma, Scaviola 'mauve clusters,' Convolvulus 
cenorum, Plumbago auriculata SYN P. capensis, and various varieties of 
Lantana?  

Because of the mild winter, the Lantana have been in flower the entire 
season.  Should I cut them back now to promote new growth and flowers?

TIA,
Nancy
