I'm no expert on pruning (anybody who's seen my yard can vouch for that), but I think the best course of action is to wait until the bloom is finished (like now, here), and prune the stems at graduated heights - take the older ones completely out, leave some others at medium height, and cut some between those heights. That way the shrub will fill in at all levels, and next year's bloom is forming on this year's growth.<br /><br />Hope that makes sense!<br /><br />JeffJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12538769872317933763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193243073610128607.post-61720886026165655302009-05-12T07:40:00.000-07:002009-05-12T07:40:00.000-07:00Hi Jeff,

The flowers are great, but the plant is growing full & blooming at the bottom with empty 6-8" stalks up the middle and then leaves and blooms again at the top. Any advice?
