Sonic Bloom Pearl Weigela (Weigela florida 'Bokrasopea') is a reblooming shrub that gives landscapes continuous but changing color. In spring, white flowers emerge and slowly change to pink. And the blooms keep on coming through at least early fall. The delicate flowers are surrounded by slender green leaves on a shrub that grows in an elegant upright shape. Sonic Bloom will grow in regions as cold as zone 4 and in heat up to zone 8.

Eventually, Sonic Bloom Pearl Weigela reaches nearly 5 feet high and wide. The easy-care shrub works well as a featured plant in garden beds or can screen out walls, air conditioners or unsightly objects in the garden. The pearly-white to pink blooms keep coming with no extra attention, such as deadheading, needed. The tubular shape of the blooms attracts hummingbirds.

Sonic Bloom Pearl Weigela Care

Plant Sonic Bloom Pearl Weigela in well-drained soil; the shrub adapts to most soil types. The weigela needs full sun to grow and bloom best. Since blooms appear on new growth and previous year branches, it is best to prune right after spring blooming. You also can fertilize in spring, applying a granular fertilizer made for roses or other woody plants.

Sonic Bloom Pearl Weigela Spacing

The arching shape of a mature Sonic Bloom Pearl Weigela makes it a stunning focal plant for any bed. If planting as a hedge or shrub, space each of these weigelas 5 to 6 feet apart to give them room to grow.

Landscaping Tip: Weigela has an elegant, arching habit that functions as an anchor to large beds. Select your favorite of the reblooming Sonic Bloom series for color that lasts much longer than conventional weigela.
