The Weigelia Red Prince

 

Although the photo of the Weigelia above shows lots of flowers, these are only at the end of long bare branches. So in June, a major prune was in order. And I mean major.


Above is after it was cut almost to ground level as I posted on 1st July. Hardly a leaf left on. I was not convinced it would recover as the shrub was over twenty years old.

But over two months later, there is now a fair amount of promising growth so, hopefully, it will flower again next year.

Now, in late October, the shrub has put on even more foliage and is looking in good shape for some flowers next year.
