Description
Red Weigela (Weigela florida)
Red Weigela, or Weigela florida, is a long-blooming (and reblooming) striking deciduous shrub. It is closely related to the honeysuckle. In addition to the name red weigela, some gardeners call it the old-fashioned weigela.
This lovely shrub has an elegant, somewhat drooping shape, stunning red blooms, and an easy and undemanding presence. It grows in the cooler to moderate USDA plant hardiness zones with little care or no once the roots strengthen.
This shrub does more than produce lovely red blossoms. Indeed, it reblossoms repeatedly throughout the entire season. You will have gorgeous, spicy red color for weeks on end.
Red Weigela Requires Only a Little Care
Red weigela has an independent streak and asks for minimal help. Here are the requirements:
- Plant red weigela in a full-sun or a partially sunny spot in your yard.
- Give the shrub a nitrogen-rich fertilizer in the early spring before it forms buds.
- Red weigela prefers consistent moisture--but not too wet! Plan to water it about one inch per week without rainfall.
- Before the onset of frigid winter temperatures, add about an inch or more of hardwood mulch, pine straw, or hay around the base of the shrub for insulation.
Besides these few basic maintenance needs, red weigela will get along fine without you.
Red Weigela Has a Striking Shape and Colorful Blooms
Red weigela is a beautiful shrub. Beyond the obvious beauty of the vibrant red, reblooming flowers, it has a graceful shape with stems that bend over a bit from the weight of the blossoms and leaves.
Red weigela leaves are ovate-shaped, under two inches long, light to medium green, and have serrated edges. They grow in an opposing habit on a light- to medium-gray stem. In the fall, the leaves turn purple, rust, or burgundy.
The red flowers are vibrant and range from magenta to deep red. They have a trumpet shape, measure about one inch, and appear to climb the entire stem length.
