Wisteria prunning

This is a second flush of flowers this year, I pruned back after the first flush as you do with Wisteria. My dilemma today should I cut back all the flowering shoots too guarantee me flowers early summer next year as usual

    Hi M58, you don't have a Wisteria or I can't see it, I assume you are referring to the pink flowering shrub ? Could do with a closer picture but it looks like a Weigela

    Haha...reminds me (maybe) of many years ago when Dad asked Mum to buy him a weigela. She came back with a wisteria, which looked gorgeous on their house for many years!

    To the left is my recently cut back 8 year old Wisteria which DID run across our fence, lost it too the Beast from the East this year, umh ! Flowering buds galore but then  they all fell off. The shrub in question is at the forefront of my picture do I or don't I cut the flowering Wigelia now that is the question I am in two minds as this would be a second haircut this year  p.s we have already bought a replacement Wisteria in the summer leaving it in its 5 litre pot until 2019 .

    Have a google - RHS+wisteria+pruning - and you'll find out when and how to prune wisteria and if you google RHS+wisteria+cultivation you'll find info on caring for them.   Substitute weigelia for wisteria and Bingo.

    Funny story Janie and thanks Obellix for your advice, decided it's going to be a second prune of my Wigellia at the end of the month, still enjoying the flowers I can see from our window with Autumn moving in here in South Wales .
