Product Details
"Polka" is another Weigela that is super-popular, and it's easy to see why. The flowers are beautiful, and with this shrub's heavy bloom, its a true vision of pink in late spring into summer. Hummingbirds can't resist it. Why Weigelas are some of the most popular shrubs in the US: Not only hummingbirds and butterflies love these shrubs; gardeners do too. And there are good reasons. In addition to its spectacular bloom in late spring and early summer and its handsome foliage all season long, plant expert Tim Wood says it best, "Adaptable to many soil types, it's hardy to USDA zone 4 and has no serious pest problems. It's easy to propagate, easy to grow and presents itself well in a container. In a word, it's reliable! The only requirement of this plant is that it requires full sun to produce copious flowers. The problem with Weigela is deciding which cultivar to grow, with over 80 to choose from! Druing it's flowering season, it's a bloom machine!"
