Weigela is an early blooming shrub located in our transfer or perennial garden in the back acreage.   These are so nice to cut and display indoors while having a vast number of blossoms on the shrub outside to brighten up the outdoors Spring with pink!

A friend of mine grew these years ago and she would bring them to the office and display with Forsythia and opened Pussy Willows.    Lovely.

I have never tried to propagate a new Weigela shrub, but I understand it is quite easy to root from a fresh cutting.  Trim off the lower leaves, dip in rooting compound, and start rooting in moist peat moss.  Roots should start in a couple of weeks.
 Worth a try one day to share with others or locate in a new place on the land.
