Pruning a Weigela florida 'Minor Black' C2 15-20

Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease. Regular maintenance ensures the shrub remains attractive and vibrant in the garden.

Watering a Weigela florida 'Minor Black' C2 15-20

Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot.
