Summer flowering shrubs and evergreen shrubs need to be pruned in March; however, spring flowering shrubs such as azaleas, spiraea, forsythia and flowering quince should be pruned after flowering – this usually means late March through mid-April.
When pruning, preserve the natural form of the plant and have a reason to prune. Thin from within the center rather than shearing the plant. Be sure to prune azaleas, if needed, by the end of June.
