Identifying a Shrub: Weigela

The shrub in the photo is Weigela, a popular, tough flowering shrub hardy to Zone 5. It blooms in late spring, tolerates heat, drought, and cold, and has few pest issues. Grow in full sun with good drainage; avoid wet sites.

Prune right after flowering if needed; late pruning reduces next year's blooms. Weigela is low-maintenance and reliable—great for mixed borders or specimen planting.
