Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Give this shrub at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. While it can survive in partial shade, the vibrant dark purple foliage will fade to a muddy green and flower production will drop significantly without full sun.
  • Soil: Plant in soil that drains well, as Weigelas hate having "wet feet" and can develop root rot in soggy conditions. If you have heavy clay soil, mix in compost or plant on a slight mound to improve drainage.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist (but not soaking) for the first year while the root system establishes itself. Once established, Stunner® Weigela is moderately drought tolerant, though inconsistent watering during high heat can cause the foliage to scorch or drop early.

Pruning Tips

This plant blooms on "old wood" (growth from the previous year), so the best time to prune is immediately after the main flush of flowers fades in late spring. Simply trim back the branches that just finished blooming to shape the plant; this encourages fresh growth that will set the stage for next year’s show and potential reblooming in the fall.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer once in early spring as new growth begins to emerge. Avoid fertilizing after mid-summer, as high nitrogen late in the season pushes tender new growth that won't harden off in time for winter freezes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much sun exposure does Stunner® Weigela need for best growth?

  • Stunner® Weigela thrives in full sun for the best flowering and foliage color. In hot climates, provide some afternoon shade to prevent stress. Plant in a spot that receives at least 6 hours of morning sun for optimal blooms and that distinctive dark purple foliage.

Is Stunner® Weigela deer resistant or rabbit resistant?

  • Stunner® Weigela is generally deer resistant, though not completely deer-proof in areas with heavy deer pressure. The dense, dark foliage and bitter taste typically deter browsing. For best results in deer-heavy areas, plant near more deer-resistant companions available at naturehills.com.

When does Stunner® Weigela bloom, and does it rebloom?

  • Stunner® Weigela blooms all summer with trumpet-shaped hot pink blossoms, continuing sporadically into autumn. The shrub produces its heaviest flower display in early summer, then reblooms in waves throughout the growing season. Light pruning after the first flush encourages stronger repeat blooming.

How do I prune Stunner® Weigela to encourage reblooming?

  • Q: How do I prune Stunner® Weigela to encourage reblooming? Give your Stunner® Weigela a light shearing right after the first flush of summer flowers finishes. This timing encourages a second round of those hot pink blooms later in the season. Simply trim back the spent flower clusters and lightly shape the shrub to maintain its natural 3-4 foot rounded form.

Can Stunner® Weigela be grown in containers?

  • Yes, Stunner® Weigela thrives in large pots and planters, reaching 3-4 feet in both height and width. The compact, rounded form makes it perfect for patios and seating areas where you can enjoy the dramatic contrast of near-black foliage and hot pink blooms. Choose a substantial container and ensure good drainage for best results.

What is the planting schedule by zone for shipping Stunner® Weigela?

Spring shipments typically occur from March through May, while fall planting runs September through November in most zones. Check your specific zone's shipping calendar at checkout for exact timing that matches your local frost dates.
