Planting & Care

1. Planting: Weigela grows best in full sun but can also handle partial sun. They prefer well-drained and moist soil. Before planting, mix compost into the soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the plant’s root ball, then backfill while holding the plant sturdy and upright. 

2. Watering: Weigela has average water needs. Water frequently until established, then only water during periods of drought. Those planted in containers will need frequent watering.

3. Pruning: Pruning isn’t necessary, only if you want to maintain a specific shape or size. If needed, prune after the plants have finished flowering in the season. 

4. Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release fertilizer designed for flowering shrubs in early spring.
