watering

Weigela thrives best when watered deeply but infrequently. During the plant’s growth season in the summer (May-September), it should be watered about once every 7-14 days until the soil is well saturated. During the winter months (October-April), it should be watered about once every 3 weeks. You should check the soil every few days to ensure it is not dry. A good rule of thumb is to water deeply when the top 2-3 inches of soil is dry. After the water has been applied, make sure the soil is cool and that there is no standing water in the container.

sunlight

Weigela florida 'Verweig 6' SONIC BLOOM is a plant species that thrives best in full sun. It should be planted in an area that receives at least 6-8 hours of full sun exposure per day. Although it appreciates some shade throughout the day, it is important to ensure that it's planted somewhere where it receives the majority of its sunlight in the morning. This will help the plant to actively start its day with enough energy and sunlight to produce plenty of blooms.

pruning

Weigela (Weigela florida 'Verweig 6' SONIC BLOOM) blooms in early summer and can be lightly pruned during the springtime to shape and revitalize the plant and encourage blooming. Prune away dead wood or twiggy stems, and to maintain a desired shape. To prune severely, wait until it's after the flowering period since it blooms on old wood. As a general rule, after flowering prune no more than 1-third of the total plant size.
