Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it, too?? The Sonic Bloom Red Weigela is a gardener’s dream. Lush, velvety-red flowers beginning to bloom in mid-spring will continue reblooming without needing to be deadheaded, that is until the first frost. Sunny to part-shady locations that need a little kick in the color department would benefit from this 4-5′ H & W beauty.
Although most flowering shrubs need a full 5-6 hours of sun, this compact, little beauty is happiest growing in part sun. The My Monet Weigela takes on a mounded appearance reaching 12-18 € both in height and width. The colorful-green and creamy-white foliage topped off with purplish-pink flowers adds interest to any garden all season long.
In need of dramatic contrast against a light-colored background? Look no further. The Spilled Wine Weigela offers just that and so much more. Although smaller in stature with sprawling branches reaching out to 3′ wide by only 2′ high, this shrub demands attention. Dark, reddish-purple leaves topped with abundant hot pink/magenta flowers in early summer really makes this shrub pop!
The Tuxedo Weigela will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your yard with its appealing fragrance, and the exquisite display of contrasting color will jazz up your landscape. This shrub produces an abundance of creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers that visually pop against the dark, purplish-black foliage. When planted in full sun, the Tuxedo Weigela thrives and reaches a height of 4-5′ by 3-4′ wide.
Christmas is almost here, which means it’s about time to start thinking of how to dispose of your Christmas trees. If you are like most people, us included here at Heritage Hill Nursery, dumping the used Christmas tree by the curb or burn pit is as much a part of the tradition as getting the tree itself. Browsing on the internet I discovered that there are other uses for that discarded tree. Here are just a few of my favorites:
