Weigela Picobella Rosa ('Tvp2') (PBR)
weigela or weigelia
Ideally suited to pots, or front of border positions, this compact weigela will flower abundantly for many months from late spring to mid-autumn. Shortlisted for the 2019 Plant of the Year at The Chelsea Flower Show, the combination of fine green foliage and pink trumpet-shaped blooms makes Weigela Picobella Rosa a very striking (and hard-working) addition to the garden.
How to care for Weigela Picobella Rosa ('Tvp2') (PBR):
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.
