How to Grow

Water: Average
Space: Min. 4' apart.
Fertilizing: Apply a granular rose or garden fertilizer in early spring if desired. Never fertilize weigela past mid-summer, as this increases likelihood of winter damage to any new growth the plant puts on as a result.
Winterizing: A good 2-3" layer of mulch is recommended.
Maintenance & Pruning: Weigela bloom on old wood so should only be pruned after blooming. Once plants are mature (after at least 5 years in the ground), you may want to remove a few of the oldest stems each year to keep it producing vigorous young growth.
Note: weigela are one of the last shrubs to leaf out in spring, so don't panic if you aren't seeing signs of life even if everything else in your yard has started to grow.
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.
This shrub arrived well packed and ready to plant. It has settled in and is beginning to thrive! I can't wait until next year when it should begin to bloom. I am so pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend this company.
These haven’t started blooming just yet but have only been in the ground for a couple of weeks. They arrived healthy and have added new growth already.
Just planted them last summer and they're already blooming!
So excited to see some blooms this year! Planted last year and they are doing great!
I purchased this last year in 2021. It was too young to bloom then but it's now blooming in April 2022. I absolutely love it.
Hi Kerri, thank you for sharing a picture of your Weigela! We love seeing our plants thriving in their new homes. Happy Gardening!
I received and planted these two 1 gal Weigela Trilogy and they barely lasted one month before they began dying. One is totally dead now and the other is barely hanging on for dear life. Waste of my hard earned money and very disappointing since I have made numerous prior plant purchases from this vendor with previously positive results. As evidenced by the photo, the plant on the right hand side in the picture is completely brown and the on on the left is mostly brown with some life still in it. I watered the plants regularly as I do on our entire landscape but these two recently purchased Weigela's are dying or dead.
The 2 replacement plants were dead upon arrival.

Landscaping is coming to lay sod and plant these plants the week of June 1st.
I planted three of these and they are all doing great. I actually just ordered two more to replace some shrubs that are dying. Beautiful and hardy.
Received in excellent condition. Plants are growing fast. Can’t wait till they bloom.
This plant is a stunner but unfortunately it did not survive the winter in zone 4b! Very disappointing!

Great plant arrived in excellent condition
All of the plants I bought from here is all doing good . I'll buy more
The plant came in in excellant shape and was very full. I cannot wait to see it in bloom
Ordered three plants - these were the happiest plants I've ever received by ordering online!
I will definitely check your site first when ordering online.
Shipping was fast and the plants were thriving.
My 2 czechmark trilogy were delivered in March along with 2 sonic blooms and 2 uptick tickseed. The weather isn’t warm enough in zone 6b yet to be planted outside so I have had the plants inside. The Czechmark trilogy’s have struggled from the minute I opened the box. Wilted leaves and never gained back the healthy look. I actually just chopped off all the foliage and repotted them hoping with the roots that when the weather is nice I can plant them outside and they will be revived. It’s such a beautiful plant I hope they survive!

The plants were half dead when they got here. Only 1 plant out of the 3 lived. A waste of money.

Plants came in great shape and packaged well!
The plants arrived healthy and in a timely manner. I'm always pleased with Great Garden Plants. I just can't wait for them to bloom!
I can't wait for this to bloom! Fast delivery and very healthy.
I have now bought 3 and I can't wait for them to bloom! They are very healthy plants and a good size. Thank you!
So far, so good. It's a bit early to leave a glowing review but these join 3 others that have all done well. We're expecting the same here
My plants arrived healthy and in good condition in the packaging. They’ve been in the ground for a couple weeks now, and are doing well. They arrived with a couple blooms on them and a few others have popped up. The blooms start out white, then turn light pink, and then dark pink. So beautiful!
WHEN SHOULD THESE BE PLANTED IN ZONE 5
Spring is a great time for planting! The rule of thumb for spring planting is to get the plants in the ground once the threat of frost has passed and the ground has become workable. If you are not sure when your average last frost is, you can check out our gardening articla about frost dates: https://blog.greatgardenplants.com/frost-dates-explained-gardening-for-each-zone-in-spring-fall/
