Growing and Maintenance Tips
Weigela 'Sonic Bloom Red' is an easy care shrub that is adaptable to a range of soil conditions. It grows best in well drained soil in full sun, but will tolerate very light shade. In too much shade it will be leggy and will not bloom well. It is also tolerant of clay soil. It should be pruned after flowering to shape the plant. It is a fast growing, low maintenance shrub.
