Weigela subsessilis 'Canary' should be watered once per week to keep the soil from drying out. The amount of water depends on the season. During spring and summer, when the plant is actively growing, it should be watered more deeply to ensure that the soil stays moist. During the hotter months, it should be watered more frequently, as the soil will tend to dry out more quickly. During the cooler months, such as fall or winter, the plant should be watered less, as it will need less water to keep the soil moist. On average, it should receive around 1 to 2 inches of water per week.

Weigela subsessilis 'Canary' is a plant species that does best with full sun exposure. When grown in full sun, weigela will get at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, this plant can also tolerate some light shade, especially in hotter and sunnier climates. It is beneficial to provide afternoon shade in these areas to prevent sunburn and wilting. During the hottest months of the summer, it is wise to provide some shade to help protect the plant from heat and direct sun.

Weigela subsessilis 'Canary' should be pruned during the late winter, or early spring, just before its new growth begins. When pruning, be careful not to remove more than a third of the plant’s existing growth. This will help the plant maintain a full appearance and encourage regrowth and blooms. Aim to remove dead, broken, diseased or weak branches to open the plant to more light and air circulation. This will also help to encourage larger flower clusters when the plant blooms. Shaping may also be done if desired, by removing any upright stems and creating a more natural shape.
