Vibrant, Flower-Loaded Weigelia for Colorful, Low-Maintenance Landscapes
Weigelia is a glorious flowering shrub with cascading branches and masses of dangling bell-shaped flowers that add color to the landscape in late spring through summer. The bright flowers are magnets for hummingbirds, and you will have a busy, colorful garden with little effort. At TN Nursery we have grown hardy, field tested shrubs for over 65 years. Our nursery stock has been chosen to landscape Arlington National Cemetery and The Washington Monument since 1959, and our horticultural expertise has appeared on television through the Discovery and History networks. This legacy fuels our authority, so you can count on every Weigelia we ship being healthy, vigorous and ready to grow.
Why Weigelia Brings Instant Charm to the Garden
Few shrubs offer the dynamic performance of Weigelia. Its gracefully arching stems become drenched in blooms, ranging from rich pinks and vibrant reds to delicate pastels depending on the variety. Many types also feature colorful foliage-from deep burgundy to bright gold-adding multi-season interest even when flowers are not present. TN Nursery's Weigelia selections are chosen for reliability, strong branching structure, and consistent blooming. They thrive in full sun, tolerate a wide range of soils, and require only minimal pruning, making them ideal for both new gardeners and seasoned landscapers.
The Landscape Value of Growing Weigelia
Weigelia is an exceptionally versatile plant as an accent shrub, mixed-border friend, foundation planting, or flowering hedge. Extended bloom time provides much-needed nectar for hummingbirds and other pollinators during feeding season. Compact, mounding form provides architectural backbone for planting beds, while masses of flowers offer stunning focal points that complement coneflowers, daylilies, hydrangeas, and ornamental grasses. Rapid growth, reliability, and sunny charm ensure this shrub will liven up your landscape all summer long.
