Pruning time or is it?

We have been away and I am now considering if pruning or at least tidy up is worth doing now as they are all a bit overgrown (and overlapping the lawn!):
- 2 types of hebe
- 1 hot lips
- Mexican Orange
I thought we could prune only if they had stopped flowering but they are still flowering!
Is it too risky to prune now? ChatGPT says prune in March.
I received amazing advice here about the climbing rose and it is going really well!

I've found hebe are not fussy, so if overhanging, lop the offending bits offHot lips, would be fine now, but personally, if in flower I'd enjoy the flowers a bit longer, any late bees etc. Time enough after any frost / snowMexican orange, sorry, can't helpNumerus non sum0
