Many of these shrubs tolerate severe pruning. I prefer a more moderate approach. This allows you to control growth and encourages sturdier stems. Cut all the stems of potentilla and spirea back halfway to the ground. Then remove half of the older and thicker stems to ground level. New shoots will emerge in spring.
