1 Weigela Shrub – Quart pot

WE DO NOT SHIP TO CALIFORNIA!!!!!

For sheer romantic charm, few ornamental plants rival the character and beauty of weigela. This old-fashioned deciduous shrub, which bears profuse clusters of flowers in spring, is virtually carefree, save for a bit of pruning and watering. The tubular-shaped flowers, which come in various hues, are especially attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. With a wide range of foliage colors—from creamy variegation to nearly black—and an array of sizes, there’s a suitable variety for nearly any landscape need.

Zones: 4-8

Height/Spread:
Arching, upright, mounding, or spreading habit; size varies from 12 inches tall and 18 inches wide, up to 10 feet tall and 12 feet wide.

Exposure:
Plants will bloom most prolifically in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Varieties with gold, chartreuse, or purple foliage will hold their color better in full sun. Those with variegated foliage can burn with too much afternoon sun in hotter climates.

Bloom time:
Mid-late spring, with sparser rebloom in summer and fall.

Color and characteristics:
These deciduous shrubs produce tubular five-lobed flowers, 1-2 inches long. Flowers come in shades of red, pink, white and yellow. Foliage is 2-6 inches long, sometimes glossy, and oblong-shaped with a slightly serrated edge. Leaves are green, chartreuse, gold, variegated, burgundy, or deep purple. Fall color is insignificant.

Toxicity:
Weigela is not considered toxic to pets or children.
