Weigela - Pink Princess
Weigela - Pink Princess, Weigela florida 'Pink Princess', is a shrub that is spreading and open with egg-shaped mid-green leaves that are 4-1/2 inches long. Clear pink-lavender blooms appear over a long period, blooming in late spring until early summer. Flowers attract hummingbirds. Pink Princess is suitable for a shrub or mixed border. Pink Princess prefers full sun, well-drained soil and is very adaptable. It is best to prune after flowering to encourage compact growth and prevent legginess. Blossoms are borne on 1-year-old branches, so prune heavily during or just after flowering to encourage next year's blossoms. When not in flower, this shrub tends to look rather ordinary.
