White Knight Weigela is a graceful flowering shrub with clean white, trumpet-shaped blooms that show up in spring to early summer. It has an upright, arching habit and works well as a specimen plant, mixed border shrub, hedge, or backdrop planting. The flowers are attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, and the shrub is fairly easy to grow once established. For the best flowering, plant it where it gets plenty of sun.

Notes
White Knight Weigela blooms on old wood, so the best time to prune is right after it finishes flowering. Avoid heavy late-season pruning because that can remove next year’s flower buds. It’s a nice choice for adding white spring color to sunny borders, foundation plantings, or informal hedges. Its blooms can attract hummingbirds and butterflies, making it a good shrub for a pollinator-friendly yard.
