Planting & Care

Plant bare root Weigela in early spring or fall while the plant is dormant. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots without crowding, and position the crown at or slightly below soil level. Backfill with native soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the soil. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stems.

Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish. Once established, Weigela is relatively drought tolerant but performs best with consistent moisture. Prune after flowering to shape the shrub and encourage new growth. These shrubs are generally low maintenance and benefit from a balanced fertilizer in early spring if growth appears weak.
