Description

Weigela First Editions Shining Sensation is a sophisticated showstopper that brings dramatic contrast to the garden with its glossy, sophisticated foliage and abundant blooms. Unlike typical weigelas, this variety features dark, burgundy-purple leaves that maintain a high-shine "polished" look all season long. In late spring, the plant is nearly buried under a profusion of bright pink, funnel-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies alike.

  • Foliage: Rich, shiny burgundy-purple leaves that stay dark and glossy throughout the summer.

  • Bloom Time: Heavy flush of bright pink flowers in late spring, with occasional reblooming in summer.

  • Growth: Moderate growth rate; reaches a tidy 5–6' tall and wide with an arching habit.

  • Light: Thrives in full sun (6+ hours) for the best foliage color and flower production.

  • Water: Prefers well-drained soil with regular watering, especially during hot, dry spells.

  • Hardiness: Reliable and tough; hardy in USDA Zones 4–8.

  • Landscape Use: Ideal as a flowering hedge, a dramatic backdrop in perennial beds, or a standalone specimen.

  • Pro Tip: Prune immediately after the first heavy flush of spring flowers to maintain its shape and encourage a potential rebloom later in the season.

First experience with Weigela

2 nice starters arrived and planted ASAP. Doing great and can't wait to see the flowers! Praying the local deer will stay away! Doing my best to keep my Weigela safe!

It was dead and dried out when I received it
I took it out of the package gave it water placed in shady location but never came out of the dead state it was in

Awesome!

The plants arrived in great condition, well packed and very healthy. They are a wonderful addition to my garden. I didn't really expect they to flower but one of them surprised and delighted me by rewarding me with several beautiful blooms.

It came with leaves and it’s grown a few inches since I planted it. Looking forward to seeing it bloom!
