Shining Sensation Weigela gives your landscape color contrast in one pretty package. Each spring, trumpet-shaped flowers emerge that are hot pink and plentiful. They form against the backdrop of deep red to maroon leaves. The dark leaves are shiny, adding to the texture and garden interest of this weigela. Birds and butterflies flock to the hot-pink blooms.
At a height of nearly 6 feet and 5 feet around, Shining Sensation Weigela makes a truly sensational statement in a container, as an accent plant to larger or smaller growers, or as a hedge. At moderate growth rate, it's a perfect hedge or screen plant. The weigela will take some time to reach full size and is easy to care for, but not a slow grower. Shining Sensation is hardy to 0 degrees, so it grows in zones 5 through 8. Its compact growth habit means the weigela also is versatile enough to serve as a container thriller.
Shining Sensation Weigela Care
Plant Shining Sensation Weigela in full sun for best results. Mulch around the base of the plant to help keep the area above the roots cool and moist. Weigelas have medium water needs and might require a little more help when in full bloom or during peak summer heat. Otherwise, it is easy to care for weigela. You can prune Shining Sensation after it finishes flowering in spring. If you fertilize, wait to add the food until after the first rush of flowers shows in spring.
Shining Sensation Weigela Spacing
For a beautiful red and pink hedge or border, place each Shining Sensation Weigela about 4 feet from the center of the neighboring one.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
