weigela bush browning leaves

Our weigela bush is about 5 years old. It blooms in spring but this year after blooming all the leaves are turning brown and it looks like it is dying. The branch itself is still green when I clip it. It has been very hot and we have had lots of rain. Should I cut it back and how much should I cut it?

This could be due to the heat stress and rain. Pruning off the dead growth may help. This article will help you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/weigela/pruning-weigela.htm ^[1]
