Weigela florida All Summer Peach ('Slingpink')

– Attracts hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies with its tubular flowers

– Not known to attract larger wildlife or be heavily browsed by deer

– Spring: Flush of foliage growth and main bloom

– Summer: Continued foliage interest, occasional rebloom

– Fall: Deciduous; foliage drops as weather cools

– Winter: Bare branches; structure remains for interest in the garden

Mixed borders – pollinator gardens – low hedges – foundation plantings – mass plantings – cottage gardens

– Medium green leaves, ovate, with smooth or slightly serrated edges

– Deciduous, dropping in fall

– Clean, fresh appearance through the growing season

– Clusters of soft peach-pink trumpet-shaped flowers

– Blooms heavily in late spring with sporadic reblooming into summer or fall

– Flowers are attractive to pollinators and provide vibrant garden color

– Best planting time: Early spring or early fall

– Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil

– Depth: Plant at the same level as in the nursery container

– Spacing: Space about 2 to 3 feet apart for mass planting or allow room as a specimen

– Mulching: Apply 2–3 inches of organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds

– Prune after flowering in late spring or early summer if reshaping is needed

– Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches

– Light pruning may encourage a second flush of blooms

– Keep evenly moist during establishment (first growing season)

– Once established, drought tolerant, though regular watering during dry spells improves performance

– Avoid soggy or waterlogged soils

– Thrives in full sun (6+ hours/day)

– Can tolerate light partial shade, but flowering is best with full sun exposure

– Not typically harvested – grown for ornamental value

– Cut flowers can be taken for short-lived indoor arrangements

– Light deadheading may encourage extended bloom

– Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release shrub fertilizer

– Avoid over-fertilizing, which can reduce blooming in favor of foliage growth

– Self-fertile, but not typically grown for fruit production

– Attracts bees and hummingbirds which assist in pollination

– No special pollination care required

Pairs well with other sun-loving perennials and shrubs:

– Salvia nemorosa – Contrasting purple flower spikes

– Coreopsis – Long bloomers with yellow tones to contrast peach-pink

– Spirea – Similar texture and bloom timing for soft blending

– Lavandula – Aromatic foliage and drought tolerance

– Echinacea – Summer bloom interest and pollinator appeal

– Sedum – Late-season structure and complementary form

– Ornamental grasses – Add texture and movement
