June 16, 2019Q.How do you get a weigela to bloom?
Have had wriggles for five years and it has never bloomed. It is located in full sun. The only pruning that. I have done is clip dead wood from the plant. What should it be fertilized with? This shrub currently has green laces and is 4’ by 4 ‘.

5Q.We have a Weigela that appears to have some kind of black disease, have you ever seen it?
My Weigela has a black growth on the branches, however, it did bloom this year. I cut back several dead branches earlier but I did not see this black growth which could be a black slimy fungus (it looks like black molasses) possibly. The branch just snapped off. Has anyone ever seen something like this? It is now dark here so I will post pictures on Tuesday. Thank you, Jeanne

June 19, 2019A.I believe your shrub is infected with a fungal disease; these occur in Azaleas also.
"Two fungal diseases can cause azalea branch dieback: Botryosphaeria and Phytophthora. There is no practical chemical treatment for either disease, although fungicides may prevent the disease from spreading to other plants."Read more at Gardening Know How: Are Your Azalea Branches Dying: Learn About Azalea Dieback Diseases https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/azalea/azalea-branches-dying.htm
I would remove the shrub and dispose of the plant; do not compost.

Certified ExpertA.This appears to be a fungal infection. This is normally caused by overwatering
Treating will require a fungicide. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm

These 2 bushes were planted in late spring. They haven't bloomed and they seem a little weak and thin. Need advice.

Certified ExpertA.You may have purchased them past their spring bloom period. Since they bloom on old wood (buds produced the season before), you shouldn't prune till next spring after they bloom.
Soil fertility and water management and pruning could be the keys. Have you fertilized this summer? Watered adequately? With nutrient and water needs met, pruning next spring should make a difference for new, more dense growth next season.
