Give your yard a boost with Electric Love® Weigela. Surprisingly bright red bellflowers cover dark leaves to create a unique look and rich contrast. The first Weigela with dark leaves and real red flowers to hit the market! Tip: Lightly trim the plant right after the first blooms end to get it to bloom again.
An outstanding option for a wide range of climates, the compact and colorful Electric Love® Weigela shrub grows well in USDA Hardiness Zones 4–9. Its dark green leaves provide a stunning contrast to the vibrant flowers that burst on top. In the spring and early summer, the breathtaking spectacle is heightened by the rich, reddish-pink blossoms, which stand out strikingly against the greenery. With a height of 2-3 feet and a width of 3-4 feet, Electric Love® is perfect for smaller landscapes, gardens, or as a vibrant accent to hedges and borders.
Because of its prolific flowering, this weigela is an excellent option for luring pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. Additionally, it is resistant to deer, so your garden will be protected from wildlife that browses. Another reason Electric Love® is perfect for gardens that welcome families is that it is safe for pets to use.
For optimal results, plant Electric Love® in full sun for 4-6 hours a day, in soil that drains well. During dry spells, water the plant more frequently, but don't water it too much. Apply mulch around the plant's base to control soil temperature and maintain moisture. After the blooming season ends, prune to keep it compact and encourage new growth. To promote strong growth and an abundance of blooms all season long, fertilize in the beginning of spring using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.
If you're looking for a low-maintenance plant that provides color and attracts beneficial wildlife, go no further than Electric Love® Weigela.
