Pruning Hardy Shrubs

 year before and mostly at the ends of the branches, should be pruned after they 

 have finished blooming. This class includes Calycanthus, Deutzia. Forsythia 

 Lilacs, Philadelphus, Prunus Spirea Prunifolia. Spiria Thimbergii, Spirea Van 

 Houtte and Weigelia. Summer or autumn flowering shrubs such as Althea 

 Hydrangea (Paniculata Grandiflora and Arboresceus) and Spirea Anthony 

 Waterer should be pruned when dormant. "
