Weigela shrub covered with bright pink trumpet-shaped flowers

Light

Full sun for the most flowers.

Water

Water weekly the first summer. Established plants handle dry spells.

Planting and soil

Plant in spring or fall, crown at soil level.

Feeding

A balanced slow-release feed in spring.

Pruning

Shape lightly right after the first spring bloom. Remove a few of the oldest stems at the base every few years.

Through the year

Leaves in spring. Heavy bloom in May and June. Waves of flowers through September.

If something's off

Dead twig tips after a hard winter; cut back to live wood in spring. Few flowers means too much shade.

Plant it with friends.
