A Compact Reblooming Weigela in Rosy Pink

Stunner Weigela (Weigela florida 'Stunner') is a tidy, rounded shrub that covers itself in rosy-pink trumpet flowers in late spring and reblooms through summer, with glossy green foliage as a clean backdrop. The nectar-rich blooms are a hummingbird and butterfly magnet, and the compact size fits foundations and borders without pruning. Deer-resistant and easy, it's a long-blooming charmer for sunny Edina, Maple Grove, and Woodbury landscapes.

Landscape Uses

Use Stunner in foundation plantings, mixed and pollinator borders, and mass plantings. Its compact size and long rebloom pair beautifully with perennials and other shrubs, and the flowers draw hummingbirds all season.

Best Time to Plant

Plant in spring or early fall, when cooler weather and steady moisture help roots establish.

How to Plant

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Set the crown level with the soil, backfill, water in well, and mulch 2–3 inches deep, keeping mulch off the stems. Full sun gives the heaviest bloom.

Watering

First Year: Water deeply 1–2 times per week to establish the roots.
After Year One: Water during dry spells; it's moderately drought tolerant once established.
Drip Irrigation: A drip line provides efficient, even moisture.
