Weigela florida 'Variegata'
Pickup currently unavailable at Aiken Nursery
A timeless favorite with elegant flair, Weigela florida 'Variegata' is a compact, deciduous shrub celebrated for its cream-edged variegated foliage and profuse deep rose-pink flowers that bloom in late spring. Its striking leaves, marked with soft yellow to creamy white margins, offer multi-season interest—even when not in bloom.
Awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding garden performance, reliability, and ornamental value, this cultivar is ideal for mixed borders, foundation plantings, and cottage-style gardens. The trumpet-shaped flowers attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, adding both beauty and biodiversity to the landscape.
This easy-care shrub thrives in full sun to light shade, prefers well-drained soil, and benefits from pruning immediately after flowering to maintain a tidy, rounded shape and encourage repeat blooms.
Hardy, showy, and pollinator-friendly, Weigela 'Variegata' remains a top choice for gardeners seeking colorful foliage, long-lasting flowers, and classic charm in a compact form.

From rooting to shipping, our top priority is ensuring you receive healthy, thriving plants for your garden’s success.
Because most of our plants are grown from rooted cuttings — alongside seed, air layering, and grafting chosen for each variety — you receive a stronger, true-to-type plant that establishes quickly in your garden.
Raised on organic soil blends and eco-friendly pest management — never harsh chemicals — your plant arrives healthy for your garden, your family, and the pollinators they feed.
Every purchase gives back. We donate to the Aiken Arboretum and support local wildlife conservation, so growing your garden helps protect the wider ecosystem too.
All our plant material is carefully propagated, grown, and nurtured at our humble nursery in Aiken, South Carolina.
Your plant arrives carefully packed and ready to settle in. Unpack them promptly, give them a day or two to acclimate, then plant following the notes we include — that’s all it takes. Clear care guidance comes with every order, so success is the easy part.
What to expect upon delivery
All our plants are sold in 1-gallon sizes, though the height of each plant can vary depending on its growth rate and seasonality, typically ranging from 1/2 to 2.5 feet.
Each plant is carefully packaged with its roots enclosed in a secure plastic bag containing moist soil, forming a compact root ball. To ensure safe transport, the box is padded with recycled newspaper, providing both stability and eco-friendly protection from weather during shipping.
