Weigela 'Nain Rouge' (Weigela 'Nain Rouge'). Weigela 'Nain Rouge' is a small ball of floral energy, perfect for confined spaces where every plant must make an impact. Its vivid red flowers burst forth in abundance against dense foliage, creating a compact and radiant effect. Its rounded silhouette and vibrancy make it a wise choice for borders or planters where generous flowering is desired without clutter. The indicated adult size is 60 to 80 cm (24 to 31 inches) in height and 1 m (3 feet) in width.

To plant Weigela 'Nain Rouge', choose an appropriate exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is as follows: neutral to slightly acidic, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the collar clear. Avoid systematic fertilizer applications without considering soil richness. In Quebec, choose a period when the ground is thawed and easy to work.

Allow a width of 1 m (3 feet) to arrange this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 60 to 80 cm (24 to 31 inches) helps determine its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants that have compatible light and water needs. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
