Polka Weigela, weigela florida ‘Polka’, is a compact rounded shrub with thick, dark green leaves that contrast with the attractive, clear pink flowers with a yellow throat. Many think this is the best pink weigela! Large pink flowers cover this plant from June through September. It adds spectacular color to the landscape during the summer months. It requires full sun and prefers a well-drained soil. A very hardy moderate growing plant, this weigela grows 3-4 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide. Polka Weigela has an old fashioned look with its bright pink trumpet-shaped flowers and is a great choice for color in foundation planting and mixed borders. This plant is considered mostly allergy free and causes little or no allergy problems in most people. For a formal appearance, shear annually after flowering.
