Notes
Red Prince Weigela blooms best when planted in full sun, though it can tolerate some part sun. For the heaviest flower show, give it at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Prune after it finishes blooming in spring or early summer, since heavy pruning later in the season may remove next year’s flower buds. Keep the soil evenly moist while the plant is getting established, then water during dry spells as needed. Red Prince Weigela is a dependable, easy-care shrub that adds bold spring color and helps bring hummingbirds into the garden.
