Caring for Pink Weigela: Essential Tips for Thriving Plants

The Pink Weigela, pronounced ‘why-gee-lush,’ is a welcome sight to gardeners as it is often the first bloom as the spring season begins. This upright growing habit, also a member of the honeysuckle family, produces clusters of pink tubular-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies alike. While this variety can thrive in either full sun or shade, it is essential to note that it does not do well in the hottest regions if considering a full sun placement. While it is highly tolerant of heat, it requires consistent watering to perform at its best. During its first season, this shrub requires moisture, soil, and consistent watering to become well-established and mature to its showy best.

Why Pink Weigela is the Perfect Addition to Your Garden

Pink Weigela is a moderate to fast grower, gaining up to 18” a year in new growth. This hardy shrub can grow as wide as it is tall, so consider the appropriate spacing when introducing this beauty to your garden design. There are many varieties to consider, and each array puts forth attractive, brilliant foliage that offers significant contrasts within your garden and landscape areas. The foliage, whether that of a deep, purplish hue or a bright, nearly glowing green, is the perfect backdrop for the pink blooms that vary in depth. The long blooming season makes this a preferred garden choice for the zones indicated.

Pink Weigela has won over gardeners of all skill levels as it requires little tending. This shrub's bold statement cannot be emphasized enough. The satisfaction you will realize by seeing the nectar-loving hummingbirds and butterflies that flock to enjoy these at your location is worth it! As you are beginning your planting plans or enhancing existing plantings in your yard, we can assure you that you will be satisfied by this long-life, hardy shrub.

Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.
