Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
I have two at our vacation home also in the mountains. I was so happy to find this plant for our new house. Planted in 2022. There were no blooms but that did not surprise me. Doing very well this year when I can keep the deer away. They enjoy "pruning" the tasty plants in the garden.
Cardinal Plants in the ground, flowers everywhere with hummingbirds enjoying a feast!!! Thank you so much for nice plants. Even my neighbor remarked at how beautiful they are.
They would have been beautiful had they lived. I have no way to take pictures of dead plants to send you
Having lost some of my many weigela plants from a large garden, I needed to replace some empty spots to round out the look of my garden arrangement and went in search of a vendor that might meet my needs. I had never ordered from Great Garden Plants before, but I discovered the plants I required and at a very reasonable price. The plants arrived lovingly packed and in beautiful condition. These were healthy, vibrant weigela that suffered no strain in the shipment, as I have experienced with other nationally-known vendors. I couldn't have been more pleased, and since planting and good care, the plants I received in May are growing and performing well. I've even ordered a few more weigela and some perennial flowers, since Great Garden Plants offers frequent deals and promotions to help reduce the cost to customers. Wonderful!
Everything I ordered looked so healthy. Thanks
The weigelas were packaged extremely well, and still slightly moist upon opening. They are performing very nicely in their new home. Love the foliage colors.
The plant looked healthy and vibrant upon arrival. It is planted to receive lots of sun (as recommended) and doing well with watering 2 times per week.
Will buy from again
I received 5 Wine & Roses Weigela plants. All looked good for the first week or two but then one of them had about 1/2 of its' leaves fall off. A few days after that, It apparently eaten down to the ground. Now a second plant has leaves dropped on the ground. Are these plant particularly attractive to rabbits? Does dropping leaves mean that they need water or are getting too much water?
Thanks,
Tom Mack
Thank you for contacting us. Please email pictures of any plant in question to [email protected], making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible.
I had purchased a few plants from Great Garden Plants for myself in zone 5a and have been extremely happy with the promptness of service and healthy condition of the plants upon arrival. These plants were well packed.
Since being pleased with the plants purchased for myself, I decidesd to purchase a Weigela for a housewarming gift for a friend in zone 7.
Within a few days, the plant arrived there in very good condition and I was emailed a photo of the Weigela with a thank you note.
I will continue to do business with Great Garden Plants....wonderful job folks!
Plants are thriving. Thxs.
The plants arrived in great shape. We had these back in IL and wanted to add them to our NC landscape. They are so gorgeous and great for pollinators. Despite being newly-planted and having hit a dry patch here locally, they perked right up after yesterday's rain. They are not only diehards but also beautiful. We're using them currently as a mountainside swath of bushes. But they'll work equally well in a 12" wide foundation planting surrounded by concrete in full sun without wilting or showing signs of stress. They are one of our top favorite plants. Can't go wrong with these beauties in your sunny garden.
It looks great!
My mother just received her third shipment of flowers and she is very happy with them all. They are healthy and beautiful, most even have buds already!!
I had an excellent experience ordering perennials and shrubs. The shipping and service is outstanding. Whenever I need plants in the future this is my go to site

Our shipments go out within five to seven business days of the date you select. Amount of time for you to receive your order after it ships depends on your distance from Grand Haven, Michigan.
Are they evergreen or deciduous?
Wine & Roses Weigela is deciduous and will lose its leaves in winter.
Will this survive in coastal North Carolina 95* heat and 80%humidity…direct sun all afternoon?
The Wine & Roses® Weigela is known to be quite resilient and should be able to handle full sun conditions. Just make sure it's planted in well-drained soil and receives adequate water, especially during the establishment period and in extreme heat. Regular mulching can help retain soil moisture and protect the root system from the intense afternoon sun.
I live in a gated community in Pa., and the deer are everywhere. I fenced in my property to keep them away from my garden. However, I have seen them scale the fence. Will they leave the Weigela alone. I hate to loose them, I have put deer repellent on many plant additions and they sometimes still eat them, any suggestions that will help or possibly work?
Hi there! Weigela are deer resistant, however if deer are problem in your area (and it sounds like they are) there's a chance you may see some damage to it. You can check out our gardening article for deer resistant shrubs for more options:

What plants compliment the wine weigla that are different heights? Looking for flowering and non-flowering plants. Thanks
Hi! Tall perennials such as coneflowers and black-eyed susans can provide a nice backdrop with their taller stature and daisy-like flowers. Low-growing plants like Hostas or Ferns can provide a lush understory with their broad leaves and varied green shades. They will fill in the space at the base of the weigela and offer a contrast in leaf shape and size.
