Much loved by deer. They keep my bushes trimmed down to 18". I spray with a good deer repellant that works on flowers but the deer keep eating the bushes. They usually pick off the flowers one day and come back for any new growth the next. I bought these to replace roses that the deer kept eating because the desciption said deer did not eat them.

This is a humdinger of a weigela! Sonic Bloom® weigela are the strongest rebloomers ever seen in weigela. Loads of hot pink flowers in May are followed by waves of blooms until frost. No deadheading is needed to see strong reblooming through summer and fall.

Maintenance Notes:Prefers well-drained soils but fairly adaptable to other soil types. If necessary, prune immediately after the spring bloom. Best flowering occurs in full sun, but light shade isn't harmful, particularly in warmer climates.
If desired, fertilize in early spring with a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants, like a rose fertilizer.
