I'm totally not perfect but I deadhead mine only and then trim if needed after flowering (spring flowering, if trim in spring, lose that years flowers) .
It's likely to be a Group 2 or 3 hollie- some that flower just now will flower again in late summer/early autumn so if you can narrow it down by looking at the specialist sites you'll find out the best pruning. Some get trimmed in autumn and some get cut hard back in spring. Is it really that colour or is it the camera? My purple plants always look very blue in photos.
They're beautiful plants and you'll no doubt want loads more if you go on the grower's sites!
Flora - you can always create obelisks fro them in your borders to grow more....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
This is my Clematis today, even more flowers. It is so beautiful, I really need another one, not just because I want one I do actually need one......I just don't know where for
Gorgeous clematis HHock - If you find out what it is, do share
Haha OL, you NEED another clematis just like I NEEDED Rosa 'veilchenblau', Geum 'Totally Tangerine', Geranium psilostemon and Scabiosa 'Fama Blue' last week

I really need a deep purple one, I have so much lilac colour in the garden that it needs a contrast and deep purple would go very well

I've got the Geum Ryan and love it, it is such an easy plant to grow and there are loads of flowers in my favourite team colour
Niobe is a good deep red OL, and Rouge Cardinal is a deep claret red and a good performer .
There are loads though.
