Product information

Marshalls Garden Weigela ‘Picobella Rosa’ delivers long-lasting summer colour with masses of pink, trumpet-shaped flowers from May to October. Mounded and low-maintenance, this hardy shrub grows to around 60 cm (24 in) high and spreads to about 1 m (39 in), making it ideal for small gardens and mixed perennial borders. It prefers full sun or partial shade and fertile, well-drained soil, and is highly attractive to pollinators such as bumblebees. Plant in a hole twice as deep and three times as wide as the rootball, improve heavy soils if needed, firm in place and water thoroughly; keep well watered and fed while establishing and trim in summer if required.

• Planting period – January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December Flowering period – April to October
• Unpack and as long as the weather is favourable, put outside as soon as it arrives and give it a water. When ready to plant, ensure it’s positioned in the right location and aspect in the garden. Keep the area around it clear to avoid overcrowding which reduces its establishment and growth. Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy, mix in a soil improver before backfilling. We also recommend adding plant feed into the hole before back filling to help establishment and growth. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
• Keep it well watered and fed for establishment and growth. Trim in summer if needed
