Also currently open are weigela, snowball trees, and some kind of phlox-y type things. |
Good candidates are aucuba, barberry, forsythia, holly, honey-suckle, hydrangea, spirraea, weigela and even roses. |
Prune late-spring and early summer-flowering shrubs such as philadelphus, weigela, ceanothus, escallonia and kerria immediately after flowering. |
Most of them are early-flowering, like forsythia, but some may flower in early summer, including weigela, philadelphus and deutzia. |
Prune shrubs including chaenomeles, deutzia, philadelphus, weigela and spiraea as soon as they have finished flowering. |
Fig. 58 shows a weigela cutting from which the top was clipped. |
