weigela

Weigela plants should be watered once a week to provide them with the necessary moisture they need to thrive. The soil should be kept moist but not soggy. When watering, you should make sure to water the soil deeply, allowing the water to penetrate the root zone. Depending on the size of the plant, you should give each Weigela plant approximately 1 to 2 gallons of water per week. During periods of extremely hot summer weather, it may be necessary to water more frequently. However, it is important to ensure that the soil does not become overly saturated or waterlogged, as this may cause root rot.

Weigela (Weigela florida 'SMNWFMS' MIDNIGHT WINE SHINE) is a versatile plant that prefers a location in full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, or a site in partial shade with a mixture of direct and indirect sunlight. This plant is not particular about soil types, and will grow in moist, well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH balance. As with all plants, weigela will benefit from regular watering, especially during prolonged dry periods, to help establish a strong root system. Additionally, it should be fertilized once or twice a year with an all-purpose fertilizer.

Weigela (Weigela florida 'SMNWFMS' MIDNIGHT WINE SHINE) is a deciduous shrub that should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be done annually to maintain the desired shape and flowering of the bush. To encourage new growth, any shoots that branch outward from the main stems should be trimmed back to within 3-4 inches of the parent branches. Additionally, any old, damage, or diseased wood should be removed. Any stems that have grown too large should be cut down to between 6-8 inches from the roots. To help keep the weigela compact and flowering abundantly, light tip-pruning should be done throughout the summer to remove about 1/4 of the length of new growth.
