Variegation can be caused by many things; however, with this shrub, it is caused by chimeral variegation, which is the most common form of variegation in ornamental plants. The plant produces two genetically different cell layers. One has normal chlorophyll production, and the other has little to no chlorophyll production, resulting in creamy colored margins.
Flowers are produced profusely starting from late spring, after the leaves have emerged. After the spring flowering, it will flower again in late summer; however, more sparsely. The flowers are trumpet-shaped and can range from bright pink to white in color. Plant this shrub as a specimen or as a part of a mixed hedge to add variety of foliar attributes to your garden.
Landscape Uses and Maintenance for Variegated Weigela Plants
This shrub is easy to grow and low-maintenance. Due to the reduced chlorophyll content in the leaves, variegated varieties require more light to grow and produce beautiful blooms, so plant in a full sun location. Flowers emerge only on old wood, so pruning and shaping should be done just after flowering has completed.
It requires well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil; however, it can tolerate different soil types. Once established, it can be drought-tolerant. It has pest or disease issues that are serious.

How To Grow
How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees
Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.
Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
