You can cut it anyway you want, even to the ground and it grows back no matter what....at least that's what it does in my dad's backyard/garden. He can't kill it and it drives him nuts. He wants it out of there.
Rose of Sharon - Pruning
Can rose of sharon be pruned? Late Fall best (Oct/Nov) ?
Any hints on doing so?
It seems once they grow longer, when bulbs develop, they have a tendency to droop so much they start laying on the ground during the year.

But at least as a side note, they are beautiful....He can't kill it and it drives him nuts. He wants it out of there.

Tell him to cut it down & give the cut trunk a treatment of torodon. It won't come back.
Prune after the leaves drop/before new buds appear in springtime. As said above, you can get as drastic as you like and it will come back. It's very hardy. :thumbsup:
