The hydrangea get pruned in the early spring based on the age, length and buds of each stick . I don't know if the cuttings are 2/3 but the cut sticks range from 1 to 3 ft. The severe dry cold winter required a lower cut because the sticks dried out. I've done these extreme cuttings in the past and the hydrangeas end up growing out to about 6 ft in diameter (mega huge).
The butterfly doesn't really get pruned but just enough to prevent getting stuck in the face when walking by.
The lavender doesn't get pruned aside from clipping the flowers but this winter did them in.
