Weigela florida
'Sonic Bloom Red'
The lipstick red flowers are remarkable enough to make this a choice selection, but a burst of flowers in June followed by waves of rebloom until frost make it a must-have shrub. Flowers attract hummingbirds. Used in shrub borders, mixed borders or as foundation plantings. Weigelas have to be planted in a sheltered area, protected from winter winds.
Hardiness zone
-Will the plant you buy this season come back next year? It all depends on where you live.
To survive for several years, a plant must tolerate the lowest winter temperatures in the region where it is planted.
It is therefore important to identify the hardiness zone of your region.
An example ! You are in Montreal, in zone 5 (according to the charter of Natural Resources Canada)
• any plant in zones 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 will return year after year to your area, it is said to be hardy.
• a plant in zone 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 will be considered an annual and must be replanted each year.
