Description

At 2.5-4' tall and wide, Sonic Bloom Punch weigela may be the smallest, most compact plant in the Sonic Bloom series, but it has big impact in the garden or landscape. That's thanks to the incredible vibrant punch-pink color of its blooms, which smother the plant in spring, obscuring the foliage, and come back repeatedly through summer and fall to extend the show. Foliage has a handsome bronze color that provides excellent contrast. Easy to grow in production and landscapes alike, it also offers tremendous impulse appeal at the garden center.
