Weigela

Question

Our weigela has tons of beautiful blooms. But it is growing outward and flatter (like it has been beaten down) instead of upward and round like a shrub. How do we get it to grow upward and full instead of flat and low to the ground? It isn’t an old bush. It is a few years old and has been pruned a couple of times. Do we tie it up? Or do they just grow this way? Thank you.

Answer 1

You should be able to correct or at least improve the shape of your shrub with pruning.

Make sure you prune at the correct time.
