Weigela Florida,for Sarahm..

Looks very neat but are you encouraging more people to 'Bloomer Butcher'?

I always follow your example, Annihilator Annie ! :o)) xx

That's it, blame me ;o))x

More of a Mentor,Annie..you should take it as a compliment .Lol....Choisya looking much better now..:o) xx

I have been 'raising the canopy' in my garden and will do a blog soon just waiting to see what's survived Lol xx

It looks very happy and Healthy and the foliage in itself is very attractive! You have done a great job with the haircut, have you been practising on Russell lol

That sounds ominous,Annie..but how high? you worry me sometimes :o) x

Lol,Carole..it's just doing it's own thing,so is Russell's ,but his has had no pruning back :o) I do love this shrub,so flowers or not,it's still nice to look at..x

Lovely shape :)

Thanks Daylily,I must have done something right last year,it has just grown like this,without any extra help since :o)

I cut my Weigela back hard last spring too, and it hasn't flowered this year, even though it has grown back to over 6 ft tall lol :D

They must have put all their energy into growing well for us,Hywel..maybe they will surprise us later,this year? but just wait till next year,they should be wonderful :o)

I hope so :)

One of my favourite shrubs. I don't have it any more, but I recently bought a Weigeila with golden foliage called Briant Rubidor. I love the name! But I'll always love W. Florida, it's such a light, bright and pretty plant. :))

I don't know that one Karen..I will have a look at it,sounds nice :o)..not that I have room for one! :o(

Hey bloomer, i am a bit late in logging on..but love the pic. Very nicely shaped compared to my sprawling shrub. I love the leaf colour of these. Thanks for posting pic !

Lovely neat plant Bloomer it will flower all the better for your tlc next year....or later :o)

No problem,Sarah..glad you approve..at least you know it will recover ok,if you decide to tackle yours..I think it is recommended to take out one or two at a time,then the rest the following year,but I just went for it all at once..:o)
good luck,whatever you decide to do..

Thanks Neellan,I'm glad I did it now,as it looks much better..flowers or not..I can wait..:o)

:o)

I like the shape very much Sandra it doesn't matter about the flowers with attractive foliage like that ..

Can you come and do ours please, I love how you have shaped that, OH does ours usually, but I have taken over this year.....so watch this space..

Ooh, that's nice Sandra!

Looks fabulous Sandra. I do also like the colour of your fencing.
