In the United States and North America, this shrub is used in the landscape as a foundation plant, in a mass planting, or on a shrub border. Prune if necessary to help maintain the plant's size and shape. If not pruned, branches will form a fountain-like outline which is highly ornamental while covered with blooms, but over time it can take on a weedier appearance. Weigela typically grows from 6 to 10 feet tall and 9 to 12 feet wide however, cultivars tend to be smaller. When mature, older interior branches can be removed in late winter to improve the plant's vigor and blooms the following year. This plant blooms on old wood, therefore, pruning is best done just after flowering as flowers appear on last season's wood.
#WEIGELA FLORIDA MIDNIGHT WAVE FULL#
Plant this shrub in the full sun to light shade or dappled sunlight, though the best flowering and foliage color will occur in full sun. For approximately two weeks, in each mid-to late spring, after the leaves emerge, showy, rosy-colored tubular flowers cover the shrub and have a repeat, though sparser, performance in mid to late summer. The epithet, florida, means "beautiful." This plant is a dense, rounded, deciduous shrub with somewhat coarse branches that tend to arch toward the ground as the shrub reaches maturity. Weigela is in the Caprifoliaceae (honeysuckle) family and is native to North China, Korea, and Japan.
