trim back the weigela shrub every year in late spring. Pruning can help it grow newer, healthier branches and may also boost the weigela's flowering potential. Cut back a third of the shrub's oldest branches, focusing on canes that are two years old or older for more established plants.
We have the red flower florida variety. I think the plant bought from Queenswood Nursery was a variagated one that will have tricolour flowers, white, pink and deep pink. Hummingbirds love these as they are related to the honeysuckle family.
Variegated green with pink around the edges of the leaves. Bought at Queenswood Nursery for $5 a 1 gallon pot. Planted in row alongside the edge of the gladious.
Bought at Home Depot for $7.95 for 1 gallon pot. 5' tall and wide. Grows in sun or shade. Has scarlet red new leaves that turn lighter after a few weeks. Protect from winter winds.
Bought at Le Coteau $15. Grows to be 5' tall and 6' wide. Prune annually in late winter to promote vigorous new growth.
