    These two Euphorbia - Ascot Rainbow plants are looking quite leggy
    Just wondering whether or not to prune them right down to ground level
    Any advice much appreciated

    I presume they are just coming up to flowering now, so I wouldn't prune now.
    But after flowering I would think you could cut the stems down.
    But leave any new growth coming from the base of the plant.
