Plant of the Week: Sonic Bloom Reblooming Weigela


Sonic Bloom Pink Reblooming Weigela

Sonic Bloom® weigela are the strongest rebloomers ever seen in weigela. They bloom in May as expected, then produce waves of flowers until frost.

We have three colors available: PinkPearl, and Red. All will grow in full sun or partial shade and show good deer resistance. They grow 4-5' tall and wide (if you need something smaller check out My Monet® or Spilled Wine® weigelas- they aren't rebloomers but do have colorful foliage). If you must prune them, do so right after that first spring bloom.

Our clever, punny name may have you wondering what a sonic boom is. Physics was never my strongest subject, but I did find a relatively simple explanation of the phenomenon here.
