#ProPlantTips for Care:
Rumba prefers full sun for best flowering but can tolerate some light shade. It's adaptive to a variety of soil types and even does well in urban settings. Weigela shrubs do best in average garden soils and enjoy moderate moisture levels. Weigela does need well-drained soils but is 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. Very easy to grow and fuss-free, Weigela can be late to leaf out in spring, so be patient if you don't see signs of life on your shrub.
Weigela won't need much pruning, or deadheading to trigger a rebloom. However, if you wish to give them some pruning, just be sure to do it right 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. Under ideal conditions, Rumba will live up to 30 years!
- Most Blooms & Best Color in Full Sun
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Adaptive to Various Well-Drained Soils - Tolerates Urban Conditions
- Easy Care & Low-Maintenance & Deer Resistant
- Prune After Spring Bloom & No Deadheading Required
