Sonic Bloom Only Blooming At Base, What Should I Do?

Question

I planted 9 sonic bloom red Weigel a last year. They did well. It’s now early June. Most leaves and blooms are at the base of the plants. What should I do?

Answer 1

Prune out the dead wood and the plants should send up new shoots. Perhaps you had a colder winter than usual.

'Sonic Bloom' blooms on old wood and new wood, plus it is a repeat bloomer. If it needs shaping, do it after the spring bloom.
