Weigela florida Polka
Polka Weigelia
Polka Weigela (Weigela florida ‘Polka’) brings a generous display of large, bright pink flowers to a compact deciduous shrub. Green foliage provides a simple backdrop that lets the blossoms carry the seasonal color.
Flowering begins in late spring and lasts well, making the plant useful where a concentrated flush of pink is wanted. Its manageable proportions fit a mixed border, a foundation planting, or a small flowering group.
Choose a sunny position and allow room for the shrub to reach its full width. Water while the roots become established.
