Welcome to the new millennium in weigela breeding! 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. 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.
