| Last year I bought a small one that bloomed but this spring it hardly leafed so I cut it way down and it has not flowered. So having loved the flowers it put out I bought two bigger wine and roses , a 2 yr and and 3 yr plant both big plants but both showing no signs of blooming. Should I not expect them to flower this year, It seems a bit late and that they should be showing buds if they are going to. I guess Im quizzing as to why they are not blooming. They are both in full sun both getting plenty of water. |

| I've found these to be very finicky and temperamental. Other weigelas do great..but these aren't great for me. Not a highly informative answer, I realize, but just wanted to share my experience. lol Any chance you pruned it last Fall? |

| Actually no the one I had last year was small so I decided not to touch at all last year. |

| Recently I went over to a nearby plant farm and talked to an expert on these plants there. He told me if they were not blooming when I bought them and were not blooming at present that they would not bloom this year. But recently and presently with the high heat I started to water more heavily and lo and behold!! There is now some light flowering. I am shocked! Maybe I have not been watering these babies thorough enough. |

| I am now convinced my problem with this shrub is me and that I have been severely underwatering. I have read so much about not to overwater because of root rot and causing them to die on the spot that Ive severely underwatered. |
