I trimmed it back to the big main branch and it looks so bad for the first year. But I trust the process and just keeps trimming back once it grows again until it starts taking shape.
I figured that if we were to start all over from new plants, it'll take even longer for them to grow. So I told my dad to let me try for a year and if it fails he could start from new, and here we are now!

Nice! I bought a house a bit ago and it has some nice plants in the yard, but the previous ower was an old lady and she never trimmed it much. I have been forcing them back into normal shape and it is going well. Funny thing my neighbor last month came out and asked me if I killed my flower bushes in the front yard beds. I said just give em a month. She wandered off not beleiving. Then yesterday she was commenting on how pretty they look now with all the new flowers and being shaped so much better. lol.
That’s a dramatic difference and all for the better. Great work!
