#ProPlantTips for Care:

Snippet Lime® fits perfectly in just about any sunny spot! Weigela shrubs thrive best in full sun, requiring at least six hours a day, with eight or more just improving the color and quality of your Snippet Lime®. Doing their very best in average, well-drained garden soils, they enjoy moderate moisture levels but are not particular on the soil type. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture in the ground as well as insulates the root system from heat and chill.

Dwarf Weigela won't need pruning, or deadheading in order to rebloom. However, if you wish to give them a trim, just be sure to do it immediately after that first spring flush of color. Weigela does benefit from a renewal pruning every few years, with the oldest stems removed that are not as productive to keep the shrub dense, loaded in blooms and lushly covered in foliage.

Super easy to grow and doesn't fuss or require fussing, Weigela are very late to leaf out in spring, so be patient if you don't see signs of life on your plant, despite the fact that other plants in your landscape may be starting to grow.
