#ProPlantTips for Care

While Weigelas will tolerate a position in partial shade, they do bloom best in full sun. Give them at least 4 hours of direct sunlight. Provide a well-drained soil and a moderate amount of water on a regular basis.

Because this plant blooms early in the season on last year's wood, it is best pruned in late winter or early spring. If you want to shorten your plant, please wait to remove any of the top growth until after the first round of flowers are finished.

Rejuvenate your mature Maroon Swoon Weigela by pruning out the oldest, fattest stems down to the ground every three years or so. Leave the thin, young stems to provide the most amazing blooms for you, your family, friends and all those little hummingbirds and butterflies.
