Enjoy months of color with Weigela florida 'Sonic Bloom® Pure Pink', a reblooming weigela selected for wave after wave of clear pink, trumpet-shaped flowers. You can use this upright, flowering shrub as a specimen, in mixed borders, or in foundation plantings where long seasonal interest is welcome.
At maturity, expect a height of about 36-60 inches with a similar spread of roughly 36-60 inches. Give it full sun for the best flowering and foliage quality, though it will tolerate light shade. Space plants so air can move through the branches, and plan room for its natural, rounded outline.
Plant in well-drained soil and water consistently during the first growing season to help roots establish. After that, water when the top few inches of soil dry out, especially during extended heat or drought. A 2-3 inch layer of mulch helps keep soil moisture even and reduces temperature swings; keep mulch pulled back from the stems.
For pruning, remove any winter-damaged wood in early spring, then do any shaping right after the main spring bloom. Older, crowded shrubs can be renewed by taking out a portion of the oldest stems at ground level every few years. Because it blooms on both old and new wood, timely pruning helps keep flowering strong without sacrificing the season's show.
