Features

Pink, funnel-shaped flowers in late spring and early summer.

Culture

Full sun to partial shade; moist, well-drained soil is best.

Notes

Weigela is often thought of as a one season plant since flowering is the main ornamental feature. However, some cultivars now feature colored or variegated foliage which extends the time in which the plant is considered ornamental.
