(Weigela) is a deciduous shrub of the Honeysuckle family that can effectively decorate your garden. Weigela will delight with pink, red, cream, yellow and white bell flowers twice a year - in spring and at the end of summer. It is noteworthy that the color of the inflorescences during flowering is not the same: the newly opened corollas are pale, but gradually they gain strength and become brighter.
Planting weigela
The best time for landing is March-April. During the autumn planting, the seedlings do not have time to take root and die, so if you purchased plants in the fall, you should not rush - wait until spring. weigel in an inclined position and cover the crown with earth. When buying, take an interest in the age of the plant - specimens that are more than 3.5 years old adapt well to new conditions.

Choose your landing area carefully. Weigela is photophilous, warmth and abundance of the sun are prerequisites for full development. Leaves and flowers are easily damaged by the wind - the planting site must be secure.
The shrub prefers loose, fertile soil, does not tolerate compaction and waterlogging of the soil. The soil should be regularly, preferably after each. If this is not possible, then cover the ground or.
Lay gravel and sand at the bottom of the planting hole 50 cm deep (layer thickness - 15 cm), plant the bushes at a distance of 3 m from each other. Do not deepen the root hole. soil mix should include sand, turf and humus in a ratio of 2:2:1.
Weigela reproduction
The most common way to propagate weigela is. Wood cuttings are ineffective, and the results will have to wait a long time - 5 years, so reproduction is most often used using green cuttings. It is better to carry it out before the start of kidney formation, i.e. in April-May. The length of the cuttings is 10-12 cm. Make the cut straight, leave two leaves on the handle.
After treatment with a growth stimulator - (150 mg / l of water), the shoots are left in a dark room at a temperature of + 20 ° C for 12 hours. Then they are planted for rooting in a sand-peat mixture, sprinkled with sand and covered plastic wrap. Planting depth - 0.5 cm. Water the plant twice a day. Roots appear on the 25-40th day. It is recommended to transplant to a permanent place after 1.5 years.
Place plants better in groups of 3-5 copies, which are combined in color of corollas, size and shape of bushes and coincide in terms of flowering.

You can't expect a harvest from them. But not a single harvest ... True gardeners and flower growers are sure to plant something for the soul. One of these soulful shrubs is weigela. Unfortunately, the further north, the less often you can meet her on garden plots. It is believed that she does not tolerate our frosts. For the most part, such claims are somewhat exaggerated. Weigela can be grown almost anywhere. Except, perhaps, the Far North. But for this you need to put in a lot of effort.
Weigela: landing and care
Landing
Location selection
Weigela is divided into two main types: flowering and variegated. From the names it is clear that one blooms, and the second is good for its foliage. Based on these main differences, we will choose a place for planting weigela. flowering species This shrub may well do without the bright sun, successfully blooming in shady places. The variegated weigela prefers well-lit, sunny place. General requirement to the place for landing weigela - protection from drafts and winter wind. It is the cold wind that poses a particular danger to her in winter period. If you can still protect it from frost various shelters, then it will be much more difficult to protect yourself from the wind. As a result, in the spring a lot of frozen and broken branches will be found. It would be most reasonable to plant it in a group with other shrubs, which will protect it from the wind, and the snow in such a group lingers better. In latitudes with a mild climate, weigela is often planted as a hedge. It is very good in combination with small spireas, forsythia, conifers.
Note! This plant is long-lived. In the right place, it can grow 50 years or more.
The soil
The main requirement for the soil on which weigela will grow is fertility. It is believed that its composition is not particularly important, but it is desirable that it be not particularly heavy, well pass moisture and air.
Preparing for landing
Regardless of the degree of fertility of the land in the place you have chosen, it must first be prepared. A hole with dimensions of 50x50x50 centimeters is usually dug out for planting weigela. The earth that is taken out of it is mixed in equal proportions with compost with the addition of a small amount of nitrophoska (100-150 grams). This method is used most often. But there is one more effective method, which will allow the young plant to quickly and successfully adapt to new conditions. In this case, the excavated land is not used, but replaced with a mixture of soddy soil (two parts), humus (one part) and sand (two parts). Regardless of which of these methods you choose, create a drainage layer 10-15 centimeters thick at the bottom of the planting pit. This will prevent stagnation of water at the roots of the plant. For drainage, you can use broken red brick or gravel (medium size) mixed with sand.
When to plant weigela
Basically, the landing period is in April. But if spring comes early in your area, then you can plant it earlier, as soon as the ground thaws. Although they practice autumn planting weigela, for most areas it is unacceptable. With the onset of early cold weather, the plant simply does not have enough time to adapt and prepare for winter.
Important! When buying a seedling, be sure to ask about its age. Too young a plant may simply not take root. The optimal age of a seedling suitable for planting is three (in extreme cases, two) years.
Landing features
- The root neck of the plant is not completely buried during planting. About one and a half to two centimeters of the root neck of the seedling should remain above the ground. Over time, he himself will descend to the desired depth.
- For group plantings of weigels, keep a distance between the landing pits of at least three meters.
- She tolerates dryness hard. Therefore, quality mulching after planting and throughout the growing process is highly desirable.
Weigela care
Watering
Weigela bushes need to be regular and plentiful, especially if the summer is hot and dry. The earth must not dry out. If you are not mulching the soil, then be sure to loosen it around the bush. Otherwise, it will weather and harden to such a state that it will be unable to pass water.
top dressing
To get a beautiful weigela bush, it is enough twice a season. The first dressing of the bushes is done in early spring. The second dressing is when flower buds begin to form. Young bushes, for better adaptation and painless wintering, are also fed at the beginning of autumn with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers. Among amateurs, the following scheme of regular top dressing has become widespread: at the very beginning of spring, when the snow has not yet melted, the mixture is scattered right over it potassium sulfate(10 grams), urea (20 grams) and superphosphate (10 grams). The second top dressing most often falls at the beginning of summer, and consists of double superphosphate(30 grams) and the same amount of potassium sulfate.
Wintering
If you ignore the preparation of weigela for winter, then you can easily lose the plant.
Advice. If you do not have proper experience in caring for heat-loving plants growing in open field, then for starters, give preference to hardy, frost-resistant species and varieties of this plant. Let them even be inferior in decorativeness to more delicate varieties. Ideally, if it is a seedling obtained from a bush that has been growing in your area for more than a year. At a neighbor in the country, for example.
But such a plant must be protected and sheltered from frost. Both the earth at the roots and the bush itself are protected. You don't need to think of anything special. The bush is wrapped with any suitable covering material (spunbond and the like), and the ground is covered with pine branches, fallen leaves, sawdust and the like.
But if your winters are harsh or the weigela bush is very tender, then this will not be enough. It will be necessary to build a kind of hut around the bush. To do this, around the plant, a frame is made from any material at hand, which is filled with fallen leaves, straw, sawdust, etc., and then covered with a covering material from above. In this case, you get a double effect: protection from frost and wind.
During the winter, be sure to sweep snow from a covered bush, and especially if the bush is not covered. A large number of snow can hurt him. Of particular danger are periods of thaw, when the snow becomes especially heavy and breaks off the fragile branches of the weigela.
Note! Despite all efforts, it happens that it is not possible to avoid frostbite of the bush. In the spring, it may look hard frozen. But that doesn't mean he's completely dead. You can try to cast it. This means that the bush must be watered very abundantly. At least a bucket of water per bush.
pruning
Planned pruning of weigela is carried out only in the spring. Annual pruning is more hygienic than formative. Frozen tips of branches are cut off and completely frozen branches are cut out. In autumn, the bush is not pruned. The exception is the removal of broken branches.
Formative, it is also stimulating pruning is carried out at intervals of two to three years. Such pruning is carried out after the flowering of the bush, that is, in the summer. At this time, it is easy to identify and cut off weak or, on the contrary, fattening shoots, branches that grow inside the bush. In general, everything that spoils appearance. At the same time, all good, productive shoots are subjected to stimulating pruning by a third, or even up to half the length. You can also form a beautiful bush by regularly pinching young shoots.
Note! Often after summer pruning, weigela blooms again. Prepare her for this. Immediately after pruning, water the bush abundantly and feed with complex fertilizer.
Weigela reproduction
The most simple and affordable way breeding weigela - cuttings. The most favorable time for this: April - May, the period preceding the laying of the kidneys. For reproduction, young cuttings that have not had time to become woody are cut. The stalk should have a couple of leaves, and be 10-12 centimeters long. Previously, the cuttings can be kept in a solution of any root formation stimulator (this is epin, heteroauxin, Kornevin) for 8-10 hours (leave overnight).
Cuttings can be planted immediately in open ground. For the "children's" beds, choose a quiet, slightly shaded place on the site and pre-prepare the soil on it for rooting. It should be very light and fluffy. To do this, remove part of the earth from the bed and replace it with a mixture of peat and sand (sand can be replaced or perlite, which is more desirable). The cutting does not go deep into the ground - within a centimeter.
After planting, water the stalk abundantly and create a kind of greenhouse over it. Cropped fits very well plastic bottle, but it will do glass jar or PE bag on the frame.
In the process of rooting, and this is about a month and a half (often less), water the stalk regularly and often, ventilate periodically. When the stalk acquires its own roots, leave it in the "children's" bed for growing. He still can't get a permanent position. Be patient, in a couple of years your young weigela will be ready for transplantation.
Important! The grown weigela seedling especially needs careful shelter for the winter. True, given its size, it will not be difficult to do this.
Good luck growing!

By creating unique design your area, pay attention to ornamental shrubs weigela belonging to the honeysuckle family. For cultivation in the garden, only 10 varieties of deciduous highly decorative weigels are used. The attention of gardeners is attracted by the simple care of plants, easy reproduction, the beauty of foliage and flowers.
Description of the weigela shrub
The plant grows equally well in shady places, and on open areas. The plant will thank the owner large quantity flowers, if you provide him with enough moisture. Varieties of weigela differ in the color of leaves and flowers. By choosing several varieties for your garden, you can create original compositions that will play with white, yellow, red, cream, pink and other shades during the flowering period.
With proper planting and care, shrubs can bloom in spring and then in late summer. At the end of flowering, seed pods form in place of the flowers.
We plant weigela
To protect the young plant from freezing and give it a little strength, planting is best done in the spring before the buds swell. The perfect place for planting a bush there will be a south side of the site, closed from the north winds by a house, a fence or growing conifers. If the site has heavy dense soil, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. The result of such preparation will be loose, humus-saturated soil with a slightly alkaline reaction.
Let's start landing:
- Dig a hole 40-50 cm deep.
- Lay out drainage from gravel or broken bricks.
- Pour a layer of fertile soil with the addition of compost and nitrophoska.
- Treat the roots of the seedling with any root formation stimulator for better survival.
- Put a bush in the prepared hole and gently straighten the roots. Start backfilling with soil, compacting well. Pay attention to the location of the root collar. It can not be buried in the ground more than 2 cm.
- Water the plant, and cover the root area with mulch.
Ornamental shrub care
In the spring, carefully inspect the weigela and carry out sanitary pruning. Frozen, broken and old branches are subject to removal. To receive lush flowering bushes must be freed from thickening branches. Once every four years, you will need to do a strong anti-aging pruning to prolong the life of the plants.
If the summer is too hot, you will have to water more often. Remove weeds carefully so as not to disturb root system weigels. Fertilization after proper fit only needed for 3 years. For intensive growth of shoots, it is necessary to introduce a universal one with a content of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
When the first buds appear, fertilize with phosphorus and potassium compounds. After the completion of spring flowering in mid-June, it is necessary to prune the shrubs. After a while, new shoots will begin to grow, which will re-bloom at the end of summer.
Choosing weigela varieties for the garden
The decoration of the garden will be a pleasant weigela and its variegated sister weigela variegated.
Be sure to pay attention to the weigela Florida and its forms:
- dwarf Alba;
- frost-resistant Variegata;

Find a place in your area for hybrid weigela and its varieties.
Blooming weigela has long won its honorable first place in many gardens. Its easy reproduction, high decorativeness and relatively simple care are increasingly attracting the attention of flower growers. This article will discuss the weigel, its landing and departure in the suburbs.
Common types and varieties of weigela
Weigela is a flowering genus of deciduous, sprawling shrubs belonging to the honeysuckle family. The height of the crown of some species of weigel (and there are about 15 of them) can reach a height of 5 m. natural conditions weigela grows in Eastern and South-East Asia. In Europe, these flowering shrubs appeared in 1845. At the same time, weigela began to be cultivated in private and botanical gardens. The selection resulted in frost-resistant varieties, which grow well even in the suburbs.
Modern varieties of heat-loving weigela can be easily grown in the Moscow region
Not all types of weigel are suitable for growing in the Moscow region. There are also heat-loving plants among them, which are cultivated in middle lane doesn't make sense. Of the most winter-hardy, the following should be noted:
Planting weigela
As a native of the East, weigela prefers purely sunny areas, protected from the cold wind. It can also grow in partial shade, but as a result, flowering will not be so plentiful and bright. In addition, shrubs growing in shading form a more spread out form of a bush, shoots do not lignify for a long time, seeds do not ripen. Forms with decorative leaves especially suffer from a lack of sun: purple-colored and variegated varieties become green.
Any weigel is suitable garden soil if it is well drained, fertile and moderately moist.
For planting weigela, choose a place protected from strong gusts of wind
Planting weigela is best done in the spring. The landing pit should correspond to the size of 50 x 50 x 50. Depending on the dimensions of the selected variety, the size of the pit can be increased. A prerequisite is drainage at the bottom of the pit of about 10-15 cm from gravel or coarse sand, since weigels that feed thin roots do not tolerate stagnant water.
Attention! When planting weigela, make sure that the root neck of the base of the trunk remains at ground level.
Weigela care in the Moscow region
Weigela is a slightly capricious plant, but even without shelter it is quite winter-hardy. Of course, in especially severe winters, young shrubs can freeze slightly, but in spring the shoots are quickly restored and flowering occurs in the same year. For safety, it is advisable to cover young (up to 3 years) plants with agrofiber, dry spruce branches or leaves for the winter.
Top dressing. Weigela is very responsive to feeding. The bushes are fed twice a season with complex mineral fertilizers. The first top dressing should be in early spring before the leaves bloom. Make 30-40 g mineral fertilizers for a flower garden under each bush. The second time is fertilized in May, when the weigela is preparing for flowering.
Be sure to cover the plant for the winter
Watering. In a dry, too hot summer, weigela needs regular and plentiful watering. The soil around the trunk should be mulched with peat or dry cut grass to reduce evaporation of water from the ground.
Pruning. To form a beautiful well-branched form, weigela crowns of the second year of planting should be cut to the first pair of lower buds, leaving only 10 cm from the ground. Thus, you will stimulate the formation of new shoots from the basal buds. In the case when the seedling does not develop well in the next year, the procedure is repeated.
Important! Formative pruning is done only in early spring before bud break.
Weigela reproduction
Weigels are easily and quickly propagated by cuttings and seeds. The seeds of this plant are quite small, ripen in September-October. Landing is carried out next spring, in prepared nutritious loose soil. Seeds remain viable for only one year. Stratification is not needed before planting. After the appearance of the first two true leaves, the seedlings dive into a shaded place and water regularly throughout the summer. In winter, plantings are covered with dry leaves or agrofiber. Flowering occurs in 3-4 years.
Weigela seeds
Summer semi-lignified weigel cuttings take root almost always. Cuttings are carried out from June to August. To do this, young shoots are cut from the shrub, which are just beginning to lignify. Cuttings of 15-20 cm with one pair of leaves are cut from them and planted in a homogeneous mixture of peat and sand. From above, the stalk is covered with a film. Over the next month, make sure that the soil does not dry out. After 1.5 months, the cutting takes root. It is planted next spring in a semi-shaded place and grown throughout the summer. A young weigela grown from a cutting blooms for 2-3 years.
Diseases and pests of weigela
Modern weigela cultivars are quite resistant to pests and diseases. Common weigel pests include aphids and worms. They can be dealt with relatively easily by treating the crown twice with any systemic insecticide.
More difficult to cope with diseases. At garden forums, questions often arise related to the treatment of bacterial root cancer, when the area of \u200b\u200bthe root neck and roots is covered with spherical swellings that become lignified over time. Such specimens are not subject to treatment, they are immediately removed so that the infection is not transmitted to other shrubs.
Bacterial cancer on weigela roots
Some diseases can cause spotting on weigela leaves. In this case, treatment with fungicidal preparations will help.
Application in landscape design
In horticulture, weigela is mainly used as a tapeworm - in single or group plantings (several specimens of the same species or variety). From several shrubs freely growing in a row, an excellent hedge. Weigels are interesting, growing in the form of a trunk or in tubs on terraces. Dwarf decorative leafy or variegated forms look great in rocky gardens and rock gardens.
