Variegated Weigela
This award-winning Weigela is an old-fashioned tried-and-true bush that may well have been in your grandmother's garden. In spring and summer,clusters of pink buds open to pale blush flowers, shown off against variegated green and white foliage. Foliage is red, orange, and purple in the fall. The plant is most useful as a specimen or in a screen or hedge.
Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love Weigela, and so do gardeners. For a plant that gives
you so much to look at, they're very easy to care for. No particular
disease or pest problems. No special soil requirements.No deadheading. Just give them
good drainage, reasonable moisture, and plenty of sun. Prune after
spring bloom...fall pruning puts next year's flowers at risk.
