Planting & Care

Transplant your Weigela into a prepared hole at the same depth it grew in its pot, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Choose a location with good drainage and adequate sunlight; variegated forms generally color best with some direct sun. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stems, to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature.

Water regularly during the first growing season to help the plant establish. Once settled, Weigela is generally low-maintenance. Prune lightly after flowering if needed to shape the shrub or remove dead wood, and avoid heavy pruning late in the season.
