About March is what is recommended, but too be honest they grow like weeds and you can't do them any harm by cutting them back at any time. You can cut right down almost to ground level and do no harm.

We always cut ours back about now to save then snapping in the wind and snow in winter. Its possible to do it again in spring if you want to cut them hard back.
