Weigela Snowflake is a deciduous shrub that is known for its striking white and pink variegated foliage and beautiful funnel-shaped flowers

Best position: Weigela Snowflake prefers a position in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. This shrub is a medium-sized plant that grows up to 2 metres tall and wide. It is ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, and as a specimen plant.

Flowering time: Weigela Snowflake produces stunning pink and white flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. The flowers are highly attractive to pollinators and provide a delightful contrast to the variegated foliage. The foliage of Weigela Snowflake is also stunning, with white and green variegated leaves that provide interest throughout the growing season.

When to feed: Weigela Snowflake will benefit from a balanced fertiliser applied in early spring. A liquid feed every two weeks during the growing season can also provide nutrients for the plant. Avoid over-fertilising the plant as it can lead to leggy growth and weak stems.

When to prune: Weigela Snowflake can be pruned lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and remove any damaged or diseased branches. The shrub can also be rejuvenated by hard pruning in late winter or early spring. Note that the plant can be susceptible to powdery mildew, so avoid overhead watering and ensure good air circulation around the plant.
