{Weigela florida 'Polka' in Our Garden}


  • The Weigela florida 'Polka' is an exceptional spring-flowering shrub, covered in attractive pink trumpet-shaped flowers with yellow throats, attracts hummingbirds. We have ours in the wood garden, let's have a look, join me on a Garden Tour.
  • Pieter took these photos on May 6, around 11:00 AM.

  • Our hummingbirds will love those trumpets!

{Our Backyard Wildlife HABITAT Certificate from August 1997} my previous post explains more about the reason we plant such type of shrubs.
  • This is the shrub as it grows in our wood garden.
