Minimal pruning is needed to look after the Sonic Bloom® Punch Weigela. Lightly trim after the spring blooms fade and remove dead material as needed. Mulching annually in spring will help lock in moisture over the hotter months.
Sonic Bloom® Punch Weigela Spacing

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
