A Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs variety, Sonic Bloom® Red is an incredibly prolific reblooming Weigela, beginning the season with a heavy flush in late spring and then continuing all summer and fall. Welcome to the new millennium in weigela breeding! There's never been anything like it, and you will absolutely love it for nonstop 3-season color in the sunny garden.
Sonic Bloom Red is a compact and very dense shrub, 4 to 5 feet high and wide at maturity, with lipstick red blooms that arise in uncountable numbers amid the dark green foliage. It never needs deadheading, making it virtually maintenance-free once established in the garden. What a great choice for the foundation, along the driveway, as a low hedge, or even in a mass planting.
Like all Weigela cultivars, Sonic Bloom Red is a magnet for hummingbirds and is generally unpalatable to deer. Plant it fearlessly in an open or meadow garden, where it combines beautifully with perennials and other sun-loving shrubs. Adaptable, easy, and so long blooming, it's a must-have this season.
