Description

Weigela florida ‘Variegata’ is a charming, deciduous shrub prized for its striking variegated foliage and abundant spring flowers. This classic cultivar features oval, green leaves with irregular, creamy-white to yellow margins that brighten the garden from spring to fall, often developing a soft pink blush in autumn. In late spring to early summer, it produces an abundance of funnel-shaped, rose-pink blooms that fade to a delicate pale pink near the throat, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. With its upright, rounded habit, low-maintenance nature, and tolerance for pruning, it is an excellent choice for mixed borders, foundation plantings, informal hedges, and containers. Note:Weigela can attract aphids, which in turn attract beneficial ladybugs (lady beetles), making it a helpful plant for supporting natural pest control in the garden.
