All the good information about Weigela!
Weigela are considered one of the easiest flowering shrubs in our area to care for. They come in a wide variety of full-growth sizes, making it easy to find a variety for pretty much any area of your landscaping! Most of them thrive in full sun… Hummingbirds LOVE them… There’s many different color choices to choose from, regarding flower color & foliage color! Weigela blooms on OLD wood from the previous year, so wait to prune them until after they’re done blooming in the spring/early summer if you don’t wanna cut off it’s buds! (exception: Sonic Bloom sets out flowers on old & new wood… but I still would wait to prune it until after it’s done blooming in the spring!)
