Weigela

Among the southern plants used to decorate flower beds and suburban areas, weigela deserves special attention. In the southern regions, its cultivation is not particularly difficult, but the more stringent conditions of the European part of Russia impose slightly different requirements for planting and caring for the plant. You will learn about all the nuances by reading the information specially collected in this section.

When choosing a site, you should remember that flowering weigela loves well-lit places, preferably without access to northern winds. The soil should be loose and fertile. In addition, it is necessary to prevent stagnation of moisture, which is achieved by using drainage systems. Before planting the bush, dig a hole, the depth of which should be approximately 40 cm. Soil mixed with fertilizers is poured into it.

It should be remembered that weigela shrubs, especially large varieties, tend to grow strongly, so the distance between seedlings should be at least 0.8 m. During growth, young plants need to be watered abundantly. Watering is no less important during drought. Only with sufficient moisture and regular addition of fertilizers will the plant delight you with beautiful flowers for a long time.
