Weigela 'Polka'

Weigela ‘Polka’ (Weigela ‘Polka’). Weigela ‘Polka’ is a romantic shrub that charms with its soft pink, slightly nuanced flowers, which contrast beautifully with its dense foliage.

Easy to integrate into country or classic compositions, it attracts attention with its soft and luminous appearance, ideal for adding relief and texture to the garden throughout the growing season.

To plant Weigela ‘Polka’, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is neutral to slightly acidic, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting it and check that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

In Quebec, choose a period when the soil is thawed and easy to work with. In hot weather, monitor recently planted plants more frequently.

Allow for a width of 1.5 m (5 feet) to organize the space for this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 1.2 to 1.5 m (4 to 5 feet) helps to choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Keep access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. 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.
