Pruning of yellow bells may be necessary each spring to maintain both size and appearance. Cut off any leggy, old, or weak growth. Sweet Betsy does not necessarily require pruning; however, if you choose to prune it, do so immediately after flowering to shape. You can also prune some older limbs back to the ground to encourage new shoots.
