Nurturing Attention:
When planting Afterglow™ Weigela, find a sunny spot with soil that drains well to ensure beautiful blooms and lively leaves. Give your plant a good drink often, particularly when the weather is dry, but be careful not to drown it. Spread a cozy layer of mulch around the base to help keep the soil nice and moist while keeping those pesky weeds away. After the flowers have danced their last, take a moment to trim and tidy the shrub, snipping away any dead or damaged branches to help it flourish. In early spring, sprinkle some balanced, SR-18-5-10 slow-release fertilizer around your plants to help them grow strong and produce plenty of beautiful blooms all season long. With a little love and attention, Afterglow™ Weigela will bring you stunning color and charm season after season.
