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.

A lovely strong grower to about 5' in my Chicago garden and the flowers are tops: pretty light pink with darker pink overtones. Abundant spring flowers with very light blooming thereafter to summer's end. And they will take strong pruning after the main flowering if size is a concern. Only in 2008 did something chew on the leaves for a month...otherwise, a perfect shrub.
