This Weigeilia was a mature shrub 13 years ago when I purchased my house, however, I believe it had always been trimmed back and prevented to "bush out and bloom" (which may be why the blooms are so profuse now )). It is always in full bloom from spring until the heat & humidity of mid dsummer in Carolina gets to it (it is on the SE corner of the house). This year, however, it is being horribly hindered by a profuse grape vine (Muscodine I think, as a neighbor raises them). The birds love the grapes though, so I have been waiting for the fledges to mature before I chop it (the grape vine!!) to bits...............I miss the georgeous flowers and all my little "flying jewels"
