Precautions for Weigela Flowering

In order to make the Weigela bloom more, it is necessary to do a good job of pruning the Weigela. It should not be left unpruned for a long time, nor should it be pruned excessively.

If Weigela is allowed to grow naturally without being pruned for a long time, the plants will be too dense and grow poorly, resulting in a decrease in the number of flowers. If the plant is over-pruned and a large number of branches are cut off, the number of flowers will be greatly reduced. Pruning can be done after flowering, and light pruning can be done at other times. For Weigela, there is generally only one thing that needs to be noted. If Weigela does not need to be propagated by seeds, the remaining flower branches should be cut off in time after flowering to avoid consuming too much nutrients and affecting growth. Old branches over 3 years old do not bloom and can also be pruned off.
