Weigela florida Variegata
Although this deciduous, variegated shrub prefers fertile, well-drained soil it will thrive almost anywhere. Low maintenance, Weigela Variegata are pretty drought resistant once established but are happiest with a regular supply of water during dry summers, though try to avoid the soil becoming waterlogged. For best results plant them in full sun (they will tolerate semi-shade but may produce less flowers). Deadhead after flowering to encourage repeat blooms and prune in mid-late Summer, (as Weigela blooms on last years’ growth it is recommended to wait until after flowering), It will respond well to hard pruning to strengthen the new shoots.
