<p>No, <em>Weigela</em> florida  isn't from Florida. It just has lots and lots of  beautiful clear pink flowers up and down its branches. The main flush of bloom comes at the end of spring, but there's often some rebloom in late summer. Branches have an arching habit at maturity, often touching the ground. With a diameter of 10 to 12 feet, it's an impressive sight either as a specimen or in groups. It's also the mother of many well-known cultivars that are more compact. </p>

<p>Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love
<em>Weigela</em>, ad so do gardeners. For a plant that gives
you so much to look at, they're very easy to care for. No particular
disease or pest problems. No special soil requirements. Just give them
good drainage, reasonable moisture, and plenty of sun. Prune after
spring bloom...fall pruning puts  next year's flowers at risk.
