When and how to fertilize weigela – timing is critical when feeding this colorful shrub

Pink weigela blooms in a back garden.

If you are looking for low-maintenance shrubs that won't disappoint when it comes to summer, weigela is the plant to grow. Weigela shrubs are celebrated for producing brightly colored trumpet-like blooms for much of the late spring and early summer, typically blooming in May, June, and July.

The flowers can be found in a range of colors, from deep red to pale yellow, and will prove to be a hit not just with garden visitors, but passing pollinators too. What's more, these vibrant shrubs are tolerant of most soil conditions and can handle both direct sun and part shade. Who doesn't like a low-maintenance plant?
