Weigela Florida Victoria Plants

Weigela florida 'Victoria' is a beautifully compact deciduous shrub prized for its striking dark bronze-purple foliage and abundant deep rose-pink, funnel-shaped flowers. Blooming from late spring into early summer, with an occasional lighter second flush later in the season, this eye-catching shrub provides a wonderful contrast of rich flower colour against its dramatic dark leaves. A reliable, low-maintenance garden performer, it is fully hardy and well suited to UK gardens.

This plant is supplied as an outdoor garden-ready shrub in a 2L root-ball, ready for planting straight into borders, beds, or a generously sized container.

Planting and Care

Plant in a position that receives full sun to partial shade. Full sun encourages the best foliage colour and the most prolific flowering. Weigela Victoria thrives in most reasonably fertile, well-drained soils. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. After flowering, lightly prune back flowered stems to encourage a tidy shape and promote healthy new growth for the following year.
