More than likely you would destroy blooms for next year depending on how much pruning you do. I've chopped 6 foot azaleas down to 18 inches or so and in 3 years they are as lush as the day I chopped them. We had to do it a few times at our last house for painting reasons.

So the question is can you live without blooms next year? If so, go for it.

Here are the Coral Bells that were chopped a few times while we lived there.
