weigelia · Weigela florida
Old fashioned weigela are popular for their showy spring flowers and simple care requirements. They thrive in full sun to partial shade and need well-draining soil. Special care points include pruning immediately after spring blooming to shape the plant and encourage new flower growth. Regular watering is important, particularly during dry spells, but be careful to avoid overwatering which can lead to root issues. With these considerations, old fashioned weigela is generally easy to maintain and suitable for gardeners of all levels.
