Why did you choose this?

Centerpiece for rock garden

Saw at a friends house and thought it was pretty.

My neighbor had one in-between our houses it was beautiful, then they cut it down, I have been looking for this for a long time.

hardy plant and colorful flowers

How long does this take to mature?

Of course, much depends on what kind of soil it's planted in, and other factors like sun, rainfall, nutrients and drainage, but this should be full size within 4-5 years. When your plant matures, it will be approximately 4 - 6' tall x 4 - 5' wide.

Can thi Weigela grow in containers?

Ours did for one season. Once we transplanted it the second year, it grew rapidly. It’s enormous in 2 years!

is it deer resistant?

It is not resistant but Deer do not destroy or severely damage the plant. It is a perennial flowering shrub with blooms weeping from the upright center. The weigela is a member of the honeysuckle family.

How cold tolerant is this plant?

I planted this in DE. Our temps get down to the teens sometimes. Since I bought this I planted it, let it grow in one spot and decided the next year that it wouldn't work there if it got too big. This spring I relocated it and we had a really long colder Spring until recently. Despite being planted twice in 2 years its going gangbusters. It really likes where I moved it to. So I think its very hardy.

How and when can you transplant and older weigela?

The best times for moving plants are when they are dormant. Avoid transplanting during the growing season (summer), which will stress the plant unnecessarily. The middle of winter may also be a problematic time for transplanting, as the soil may be tough to dig in. This link is very helpful in tips for how to transplant this tree. https://homeguides.sfgate.com/transplant-weigela-30718.html

Is it a perennial?

Yes, mine was also small starting out two years ago. Last year it was just leaves and not very big, but this year is a tremendous difference! It's already two feet in diameter all around with gorgeous pink blossoms! I can't wait to see it continue growing!

Will survive in containers over winter in  7B?

We lost a potted plant inside because it got too cold. I have one planted outside this summer and hope it makes it thru this winter. We are in 7b also.

If kept in hanging pot can it maintain the size?  Do you have to plant in ground at some time?

I would not recommend planting a variegated weigela in a hanging pot. The plant's mature size is 4-6 feet tall and around 5 feet wide. Given what it needs, it does grow into a beautiful fountain-shaped shrub naturally. But it needs much more space than a hanging pot will give it. And it needs to send its roots down into the soil.

Is it deer resistant?

Can't say for sure but we have never had a problem and we definitely have deer on our property.

Are they deer resistant?

Yes. Deer have left my bush alone. It is planted near the foundation of our home - out in the country. Deer are frequently on our lawn- no dogs! Once established this bush is easy to maintain and enjoy the flowers and variegated foliage.

tiny giant
It arrived in the spring extremely small in a very little 3" container, I transferred the plant into a larger container, and it just took off. I had to transfer again into a larger container once again. It will go into the ground in September - beautiful and healthy. It just started to bloom (about 3 months after the purchase). Very happy about this plant and looking forward to the next year continuous growing and seeing more blooms.

Plants arrived early and are doing very well. They are planted in the semishaded area and have tripled in size.

Beautiful plants! A great addition to my yard! I put them between evergreen arborvitae with plenty of space for all plants to grow and the garden looks great!

Beautiful
I bought three of these for my front yard and they have done very well in zone 7/8 conditions. The plants arrived healthy and have put on good growth in spite of an icy winter. I have a very tree-filled yard, so they get some shade in the hot summers. The blooms this spring were so pretty against the variegated leaves. I can't wait til they reach full size.

Variegated wegeila
A beautiful flowering shrub with year round visual interest, which can be added to the landscape or grown in a container. With our climate here, mine prefers morning sun.

All of my fruit trees and bushes have been Stark Bros. purchases and are doing very well.
I bought 2 of these bushes and both are growing well after surviving a hot and dry Summer. I am so looking forward to see the blooms on these bushes later on.
