Dig a hole about twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth, then place the plant so the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with native soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Adding a layer of mulch around the base helps conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch a few inches away from the stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help the shrub establish a strong root system. Once established, Weigela is fairly drought tolerant but performs best with consistent moisture. Prune lightly after the main bloom period to shape the plant and encourage new growth; avoid heavy pruning late in the season. A balanced fertilizer in early spring can support healthy growth and flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Pink Weigela shrub starter plant (Weigela florida).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739749613878,"sku":"EDNA-160","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8077782068_9v8s.jpg?v=1792115002","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/pink-weigela-shrub-weigela-florida-flowering-bush-easy-grow-starter-plant","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
