How to care for Weigela florida All Summer Monet ('Verweig 8') (PBR) (All Summer Series):
Plant Weigela in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade for best flowering. They prefer a sheltered spot and will tolerate most soil types, as long as they’re not in soils prone to waterlogging, especially in winter.
Water regularly during dry spells in the first year to help establish the root system. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to encourage strong growth and good flower production. Mulch annually with well-rotted organic matter to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Once established, prune each year in mid-summer after flowering, removing one or two of the older stems to the base and cutting back the flowered stems to strong shoots below the spent flowers to maintain shape and encourage new flowering wood.
