Portland Memory Garden

May’s Plant of the Month is Variegated Weigela (Weigela florida) 🌸🌸🌸

These deciduous shrubs grow to be 4-6 feet and feature trumpet shaped flowers with a delicate spring scent that attracts hummingbirds and other pollinators.

This gorgeous species thrives in full-sun to partial shade, with increased sun enhancing the color of its foliage. They are relatively easy to grow, and can survive in a variety of soil conditions. They require frequent watering while young, but becoming drought-tolerant once established.

Portland Memory Garden features the “Variegata” strain of Weigela florida, which blooms from late spring to early summer. Plan your trip to the garden today to see if you can identify this plant among our many flora.
