Weigela florida (Reblooming Weigela)
Color Name: Sonic Bloom® Wine
Elevate your garden with the rich hues of Weigela Sonic Bloom Wine. This innovative Weigela is the first dark-leafed variety to offer repeat flowering, bringing continuous beauty and color to your landscape. Enjoy the vibrant contrast of rich, deep purple foliage against abundant bubblegum-pink, bell-shaped blooms that emerge in late spring and continue to rebloom through late summer and fall. Some flowers may even reveal a surprise hot-pink, star-like marking.
The trumpet-shaped flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies, bringing your garden to life with their graceful presence.
This Weigela is known for its low-maintenance nature, thriving in full sun (6+ hours daily) and well-drained soil, though it can tolerate a variety of soil types. It's cold hardy in zones 4-8 and exhibits drought tolerance once established.
Growing Tips: Late to leaf out in spring. May require a bit of pruning to clean up winter damage - wait until new growth appears to do so.
Soil: Adapts to any well-drained site.
Pruning: Blooms on old wood - prune as needed after flowering, though this very compact, dwarf variety will rarely require it. Remove oldest stems every 3-5 years to encourage vigorous juvenile growth.
Uses: Shrub borders; mixed borders; edging; groundcover; containers.
