As a general rule it is advisable to prune spring-flowering and early-summer-flowering shrubs immediately after they 
complete the period of flowering. This is because the blooms occur on old wood or the previous year’s growth, 
and pruning immediately after bloom encourages growth for next year’s bloom. Thinning should be confined to 
removal of dead wood and judicious removal of new wood as necessary to maintain the shape and size desired for 
the location. : 
Late-summer-flowering and fall-flowering shrubs produce their blooms on wood of the same season’s 
growth. These may be pruned in late fall or early spring, preferably while dormant. This encourages 
new growth for abundant new bloom.
