My last remaining Wiegela bush (there were three) is in full bloom this week and I am considering it as a replacement for the Spruce. It's fairly tidy and will grow about 6 feet tall so would fill the space nicely, given a few years.
The two I lost had a deeper red blossom so maybe I will go with that this time.
What a gorgeous bush. I have no luck with those as they seem to die on me in a few years.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
The two that died were over 20 years old!
DeleteThat is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteIt just needs some of the dead wood cleaned out each year after it blooms.
Delete6 feet is a good height. And such a pretty bush
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to this time of year when it is in bloom.
DeleteThat is beautiful and would make a lovely replacement. X
ReplyDeleteHope I can find the one I want.
DeleteReally gorgeous and as it is a very nice size. Do the flowers come in different shades other than pink? It looks as if it grows really dense so I imagine it would cover the old tree space nicely. Beautiful! keep well Amanda x
ReplyDeleteYes, there is a deeper red blossom which I plan to look for.
DeleteWe have a dark red one but I don't think ours is evergreen. Perhaps I have mistaken it for something else!
ReplyDeleteThis is a deciduous shrub and loses most of the foliage in the fall but comes back each Spring.
DeleteWOW what a beautiful full weigela.
ReplyDeleteIt was here when I moved in so is over 25 years old. Amazing!
DeleteThat is beautiful, such a lovely colour and so full of blossoms, a good choice for the empty space..
ReplyDeleteI just have to investigate when is the best time to plant a new one.
