Weigela florida (Weigela)
Color Name: Snippet® Dark Pink
Looking to add vibrant color and continuous blooms to your landscape, even in small spaces? Look no further than the remarkable Weigela Snippet Dark Pink. This compact, reblooming Weigela is a flower powerhouse in a petite, garden-friendly package.
Enjoy a spectacular display of dark pink, trumpet-shaped flowers that drench the soft green foliage from late spring through fall. Snippet Dark Pink is a reblooming variety, ensuring waves of fresh flowers throughout the summer months without the need for deadheading.
This dwarf shrub grows into a neat, rounded mound, reaching 1-2 feet tall and wide. This makes it ideal for borders, containers, mass plantings, or even as a focal point in your landscape.
Snippet Dark Pink is a low-maintenance shrub that thrives in full sun (6+ hours daily) and well-drained soil. It is hardy in zones 4-8, making it a reliable choice for many gardens. This weigela is also deer and rabbit resistant. The trumpet-shaped blossoms are a favorite of hummingbirds, and attract butterflies and other pollinators as well.
Growing Tips: Late to leaf out in spring. May require a bit of pruning to clean up winter damage - wait until new growth appears to do so.
Soil: Adapts to any well-drained site.
Pruning: Blooms on old wood - prune as needed after flowering, though this very compact, dwarf variety will rarely require it. Remove oldest stems every 3-5 years to encourage vigorous juvenile growth.
Uses: Shrub borders; mixed borders; edging; groundcover; containers.
