Pink Weigela | Florida Weigela
Pink Weigela, Florida Weigela is a densely foliated, deciduous shrub with profuse and continuous flowering from spring until autumn. Native to North China, Korea and Japan, it grows naturally along forest edges and scrublands where it has access to full sun conditions. In the garden, this weigela produces more blooms than any other variety of weigela to date.
Naturally, the growth habit of this shrub is fountain-like in appearance; however, it will respond well to pruning. In spring, it produces ovate leaves with pointed tips and serrated edges. Soft, pliable, and lush, the foliage of this beautiful shrub embodies a comforting sentiment in the garden. As the leaves senesce in autumn, this comforting feeling turns nostalgic as the foliage transforms to a rusty shade of purple.

How To Grow
How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Shrubs
Bare root shrubs are a budget-friendly and efficient way to plant during the cooler months when they’re dormant. Before planting, soak the roots in water for 3–6 hours to rehydrate them. Choose a site with the appropriate light exposure for the species—most flowering shrubs prefer full to partial sun. Dig a hole wide enough to spread out the roots and deep enough so the crown (where the roots meet the stems) sits level with the soil surface.
Mound a bit of soil at the bottom of the hole, spread the roots over it, and backfill with native soil while gently firming it to remove air pockets. Water deeply after planting to settle the roots. Keep the soil moist but not soggy during the first growing season to encourage healthy establishment.
Mulch around the base (not touching the stems) to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly to remove any broken branches and to shape after the first flush of growth. With minimal care, bare root shrubs will leaf out beautifully and grow into reliable, long-term landscape anchors.
