Weigela General Information

Weigela are deciduous shrubs that are very adaptable and easily grown. Prolific, trumpet-shaped flowers on gracefully arching branches. Adored by hummingbirds. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Weigela Plant Care

No pruning required for consistent rebloom. Can prune right after the first spring bloom to shape. Fast growing, low maintenance. Minimal pruning needed. If desired, prune to shape after blooms have faded to shape. Weigela Sonic Bloom Ghost blooms on old wood. If desired, after their first 3-5 years in the ground, Weigela benefit by removing the oldest stems every other year or so.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
