Is it possible to over-prune wall germanders?
My three year old wall germanders had some dead spots last season which I was able to prune to keep the plants looking good. But this year’s harsh winter left too many dead spots so I cut them down to the ground. Little sprouts are pushing up but did I essentially do these plants in or will they grow back to their full glory?

I am optimistic that your germander will be looking spiffy by Father's Day. You did the right thing cutting back the winter injury and these tough herbs are giving you some rewarding new growth.
Keep growing,
