I love your reference of not turning shrubs into meatballs. It makes me smile every time you say that 🙂 🌷💚🙃

[@cece_marie]

I love a plant that looks 'bouncy' - I'm going to keep an eye out for this one, I don't have any weigela in my garden.

[@annadavis6361]

I have two and I love them! Taylor’s Nursery in Raleigh has them.

Great plant groupings! 👍 I have my red ‘Sonic Bloom’ weigela in a back yard shrub bed, and it’s pretty good this year, especially since I mulched the bed with wood chips late last year.

[@nevar23]

I've had this on my wishlist, and after watching this video I finally ordered it. Got it planted today, so fingers crossed! Thanks so much for the tip about afternoon shade, because the tag says full sun and I'm in Georgia. ☀

I planted a tuxedo weigela from bloomin easy… has dark foliage w white blooms. It is beautiful. I was told this shrub grows on new wood so cutting off blooms is not a issue. I’ve pruned mine different stages & still get blooms. This shrub is a no fuss plant.

[@fzleadventures173]

Thank you so much! I’ve been eyeing this shrub since I seen it in your garden tours! I found out my local garden center has a few so I’m definitely getting one! There’s no one else who’s made videos on it so I appreciate your information.

[@gracefulgrowing144]

I look forward to your videos all the time. I love the information and the education that you put into your videos and the different options of plants and flowers that you highlight. I never knew I could grow Weigela until you're videos. I'm excited to get the shining sensation into my garden. Thank you and thank you Stephany for everything you'll put into your videos to create a great channel.

Thank you for the lovely comment😊

[@maggieb8499]

Just planted two of these. Hope they become as beautiful as yours! Thanks for the great advice.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Jim. 🌷💚🙃

[@donnajoy6951]

I have a spot in the East Garden to add this… thanks for suggesting 😊

[@brendashinavier5259]

Thank you! Great information… I have 3, planted last year and was wondering how to prune them!!

[@judymckerrow6720]

April 25th : it’s currently snowing outside 😢 🌷💚🙃

[@PHILCHUDS]

Shame you can put pics on here. I've got a 40 year old weigela , its impressive !

[@robertimundo8797]

Great info! I planted a Shining Weigela this past spring. it started out doing great but after the drought and heat up in the Chicago area this summer it has leaves drying up. It gets about 12 hrs. of direct sun. Too much sun? and should I move it? I watered every other day this summer. The boxwoods I planted next to it seem ok. I love the location where I planted it. Help!

[@angeltrudo]

I am in Florida and I want something with foliage year round without thorns!!! Is this one the same as the red wine ones? Thank you!

[@gracejaklik2617]

My blooms started to open, but never fully opened, previously did not occur

[@diannbarbacci1031]

Thank you Jim, by chance are they deer resistant?

[@stephanycoakley7352]

We have a few urban deer but they haven’t bothered it yet. Crossing my fingers!! They do love sorrel though😂😂

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

Love these single plant videos. As for meatballs, it must be like cilantro - either you have a gene for it or not. I don’t. Manicuring them would trigger my latent OCD.

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

Could this possible work in zone 9b

[@stephanycoakley7352]

The top zone is 8b. While it would not necessarily thrive, if you did opt to experiment, certain no afternoon sun and shade the roots.

[@markhammett5072]

Is there a difference Shining sensation weigela and the weigela florida??

[@stephanycoakley7352]

Weigela Florida is the species

[@tangorchid]

Hi, My weigela has finished blooming. How do I prune and care for it please? Thank you.

[@stephanycoakley7352]

We follow the long stems down into the plant and prune them-so they retain natural habit

[@tangorchid]

@@stephanycoakley7352 thank you!

[@sparklingwiggle]

Can't grow it in Florida 🤥
