Also prune this way...

Several other popular shrubs can be given similar treatment at this time of year.

Weigela, once established, can be pruned annually after flowering, but be mindful to follow the habit and shape of the shrub.

Flowering currants (Ribes) respond well to annual pruning to encourage abundant blossom and keep them vigorous. After the last flowers have faded, prune immediately, removing one in three stems, taking the oldest first.
