Plant identification and pruning

I have these two plants in our front garden. I have no idea what they are and they have become unruly and unshapely! What are they and when can I prune/rejuvenate them?

Many thanks

The first image is unclear, as it appears the flowers are faded and it is in seed form. Generally most perennials can be trimmed back after flowering.

The 2nd plant is Euonymus.
Annual pruning is recommended, early spring or early summer is best.
