A Whole Lot of Flower Power in a Tiny Package
If you have a small garden or are working with limited space, Snippet® Dark Pink weigela (Weigela florida) might be just what you need! A two-season showstopper, this tiny shrub is a fraction of the size of a conventional weigela but provides the same floral impact with richer, darker flowers that delight in spring and once more in late summer/early fall.
Reaching 1-2′ tall and wide, Snippet Dark Pink is classified as a dwarf weigela. Its small size and long bloom window make it a perfect fit for those sunny spots that need a vibrant pop of color, a task made easy with its eye-catching dark pink blooms. Not just a visual treat, these tubular flowers attract an array of pollinators, who fill the air with a happy buzz!
Thanks to its neat and nifty habit, Snippet Dark Pink weigela looks great at any time during its flowering cycle. Even when not in bloom, its lush green foliage maintains the plant’s charm, appearing in a neat bun shape that provides a lovely complement to any surrounding shrubs and perennials.
Many people enjoy weigelas because of their low-maintenance nature, and Snippet Dark Pink is no exception. Thriving in USDA zones 4-8, this hardy shrub performs best in full sun and any soil that does not remain wet. It also displays strong deer and rabbit resistance. Since it blooms on old wood, you should not prune it regularly; instead, a periodic rejuvenation prune every 3-5 years will help preserve its abundant blooms.
