Florence, 41042Q.Weigela Pruning
I have two weigela bushes that are in the second spring/summer from first planting them. Should the light pruning after the spring blooming period be to cut back all the flowers, or cut some of them in order to give them a more defined shape?

May 31, 2016A.This depends on how large your shrubs are and if you need to shape them.
If the size of the shrub is fine right now, just dead head the flowers.
If you need to shape up your plant them go ahead and make those pruning cuts after blooming.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/jasmine/trimming-jasmine-plants.htm

July 4, 2016Q.weigela with powdery substance
My weigela bush has white powdery substance on some of its branches. I am trimming my well-established weigela bushes after their spring bloom and I noticed this year that the backside of the bushes (next to my front porch) have a white powdery substance on some of the branches. What is it and what can I do to take care of it?

Richland WashingtonQ.Weigela watering
The leaf tips on my Weigela tree are turning brown and drying up. Is it getting too much water or not enough? It is planted in a rock bed. Is it too hot for it? The soil is sandy.

July 25, 2016A.Weigela need a rich moisture holding soil, and should be kept moist throughout the growing season.
The sandy soil is likely not holding enough moisture for your shrub.

July 30, 2016A.I'm sorry your Weigela is not blooming! Plenty of sun is good, but make sure your soil is moist and well-draining, too.
Weigela blooms on last year's wood, so it's possible that even though your plant is one year old, it hasn't had a chance to mature enough to support new blooms yet. In other words, THIS year's wood may support new blooms next year.

August 12, 2016Q.Monet has brown around leaf edges
It's a new plant. It's been in the ground about three weeks. One week after planting it accidentally got flooded with irrigation water so I didn't give it anymore water for a week. Then it was hot and dry and I suspect spider mites moved in. I bathed it with insecticidal soap and have been watering regularly. I live in central AZ, I think zone 8.
