Step 1. Prune your autumn sage twice a year in the late winter after all flowering has ceased and again in August to keep the plant more compact in size. Step 2.

Crape myrtles should be pruned during the winter. Many people prune in late winter, from late February into early March. The important thing to remember is to prune crape myrtles right before new growth begins in the spring. A crape myrtleâs flower buds are produced on new growth. So once new growth starts in the spring, flower buds for the summer will begin to form on current new growth.
