Questions & Answers
I planted this Weigela in my mother's yard many years ago. We have never
cut it down in winter, only trimmed it some in the spring.
The Wine and Roses was especially beautiful this past spring. I've planted one in my yard this year, and only hope it does as well.
It's fine with partial sun. In fact, I think actually it grows better in partial sun than in full sun, although the flowers won't be quite so dense.
Weigela should be pruned right after flowering, whenever that is in your growing zone. Weigela produces flowers on last season's wood, so if you prune too late, the shrub won't have time to grow wood for next year's blooming period.
