Variegated Weigela

Variegated Weigela earns its place in the landscape twice over — first with its eye-catching two-toned foliage, and again when it bursts into a dazzling display of pink blooms from late spring through early summer. A graceful, arching shrub that’s as easy to grow as it is beautiful, it’s a standout choice for borders, foundation plantings, and mixed landscape beds in Zones 5–8.

Two Seasons of Visual Interest in One Plant

Most flowering shrubs offer one peak moment — Variegated Weigela gives you two. The creamy-edged, two-toned leaves are genuinely attractive on their own, providing textural contrast and brightness in the landscape even before a single bloom appears. Then from late spring into early summer, the branches fill with masses of 1-inch pink trumpet-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies in abundance. Even after the flowers fade, the variegated foliage continues to carry the display through the season.

A Low-Maintenance Shrub That Fits Almost Anywhere

Variegated Weigela’s graceful arching habit makes it naturally well-shaped without much intervention. It grows at a moderate pace and adapts readily to full sun or partial shade, making it one of the more flexible shrubs for challenging spots in the yard. It tolerates a wide range of soil pH levels and requires very little fussing once established — just an occasional pruning after flowering to keep it tidy and vigorous.
