Default Kerria Japonica Pruning

I have a Kerria Japonica (Jews Mallow), which is growing well but the first
4 feet of stem is bare - it only has 3 stems.
I understand the flowering stems should be reduced in length in June,but I
want to encourage more branching from lower down to produce a bushier plant.
If I cut the 3 stems back to about one foot above ground,will new growth
appear?
Many Thanks
Colin
