Weigela are a lesser known group of deciduous shrubs that should be more popular than they are. They are low maintenance and easy to grow, feature vibrant foliage in a variety of colours and deliver an attractive, small bell or trumpet-shaped flower in late spring or early summer. Flowers are usually shades of white, pink or red.
Weigela does well in moist, but well drained, fertile soils in sun or part shade.
