When to Prune Reblooming Weigela?

It is best to prune weigela shrubs in the late spring after they have finished blooming. Trimming weigela bushes right after they bloom will keep you from inadvertently pruning off next year's flowers. This is because weigela blooms on wood that it is a year old. The wood that grows this year will bloom next year.

How do you care for reblooming weigela?

To help your weigela thrive, plant it in moist soil that drains well. Add plenty of compost or composted manure to the planting bed to help enrich soil and improve drainage. Weigela adapts fairly well to any soil, although you'll see strongest growth and flowering on plants in ideal conditions.

When should I cut my weigela back?

The best time to prune it is right after it's done flowering, which is late May into early June. It's not too late to prune it now, but I wouldn't wait much longer because the plant will begin producing flower buds for next year shortly. You can really whack weigelas back if necessary.
