Lemon Ice Weigela

The Lemon Ice™ Weigela is a new variety of weigela with unique flower colors of very pale lemon yellow tinged with chartreuse. It blooms from late April through May, and then more blooms develop from mid-summer into fall. It is a deciduous shrub reaching 5 or 6 feet tall and wide, with a bushy, rounded form and arching branches. Grow it at the back of smaller shrub beds, or in the middle of large ones, for its brightness, and to highlight other colors, like the dark-leaf weigelas we also carry.

• Unique coloring, with large blooms in the palest citrus yellow
• Blooms earlier than other varieties, and keeps blooming till fall
• Excellent background shrub among darker plants
• Easily grown in any sunny place
• A magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds

Grow the Lemon Ice™ Weigela in full sun for maximum blooming, but it will take a little light shade too. It is hardy in zone 5, easily grown, and thrives in most soils, as long as they are well-drained. Normally free of pests and diseases, it is also left alone by deer. A simple pruning in early summer is all it takes to have this lovely bush blooming away and thriving for years.
