Weigela

Back to:  Shrub Gallery
Wonderful "fillers" that are so colorful! - Vibrant flowers blanket the contrasting foliage.
Weigela are valued for use as specimen and border plants.
HUMMINGBIRD FAVORITE.
They like moist, well-drained soils.
​Plant in full sun for the greatest show of springtime blooms.
Prune after flowering to encourage a new flush of growth and light re-bloom later in the season.
