Description
This collection of weigelas for containers will delight lovers of flower-filled terraces and small gardens. These compact shrubs, which do not exceed 60 cm (24in) in height, offer not only generous flowering in white, pink, and deep pink tones in May-June, but also highly ornamental, variegated or more or less purple foliage, depending on the plant. They can be grouped together in a large flowerpot, planted in separate pots, or used in the centre of a small dedicated flowerbed. Just like larger varieties, these small Weigelas are easy to grow in any fresh and loose soil, even lime-rich.
The collection includes:
1 Weigela florida 'Verweig' MONET: variegated leaves that emerge pink and then become green with white margins. Lovely deep pink flowers.
1 Weigela florida Black and White ® 'Courtacad1': dark purple-green foliage and trumpet-shaped, ivory-white flowers with a purple base.
1 Weigela florida Minor Black ® 'Verweig 3': dark purple foliage, deep pink flowers in May-June, and sometimes again in September.
Hardy up to -20 °C (1°F), Weigela thrives in sunny locations with soils that don't dry out too much in summer. When grown in a container, it should be watered regularly from spring to autumn and will appreciate the addition of fertiliser for flowering shrubs. In a flower bed, you can plant it alongside other compact shrubs such as Caryopteris, shrubby Salvias, or a dwarf Mock Orange for fragrance. To compensate for the weigela's lack of foliage in winter, pair it with evergreen shrubs like the shrubby honeysuckle Lonicera nitida 'Scoop', for example.

Planting and care
Hardy down to -20 °C (1°F), Weigela florida thrives in sunny or partially shaded positions. Plant it in ordinary, loose soil that is not too compact, with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (chalky), from October to March (excluding periods of frost and heatwaves). It adapts well to many regions, but not in Mediterranean areas where summers are too hot and dry. To maintain a compact habit and promote flowering, prune back the branches that have borne spring flowers by 2/3, just after flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
