Weigela florida 'Variegata' brings old-fashioned charm with bright, cream-edged green leaves and clusters of soft pink, trumpet-shaped blooms in spring, often with a lighter repeat later in summer. You can use it as a specimen, in a shrub border, or as an informal hedge where its variegated foliage keeps the planting attractive even when it is not in flower.

Give it full sun for the strongest flowering and best foliage color, though it will also grow in part shade. Plant in average, well-drained soil and water regularly during the first season to establish a deep root system. After establishment, it appreciates consistent moisture during hot, dry stretches but does not need constantly wet soil.

At maturity it typically forms a rounded to arching shrub about 60-72 inches tall and 60-72 inches wide. Allow room for air circulation and its natural shape. Mulch to keep roots cooler and to help maintain even soil moisture, keeping mulch a few inches away from the stems.

Prune just after spring bloom, since next season's flowers form on old wood. Remove a few of the oldest stems at the base to refresh the plant, and lightly shape as needed. The blooms are a nectar source that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, and the plant is noted as lightly salt tolerant in landscapes where that is helpful.
