Weigela hybrid Prism™ Magic Carpet

Attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees with tubular, nectar-rich flowers.

Adds valuable early-season nectar for pollinators.

Deer resistant, with foliage seldom browsed.

Spring: Fresh golden foliage emerges and flower buds form.

Early summer: Peak bloom with bright pink flowers.

Late summer–fall: Light rebloom and continued vibrant foliage color until frost.

Winter: Leafless structure provides tidy texture in dormant landscapes.

– Ideal for borders, foundation plantings, rock gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens; perfect for small landscapes and colorful mass plantings

Features golden to chartreuse foliage that maintains bright color throughout the season.

New growth often tinged with copper or bronze, creating a multi-tonal “carpet” effect.

Compact, dense branching provides lush texture and vibrant contrast in the garden.

Produces masses of rosy-pink to magenta tubular flowers in clusters along the stems.

Blooms in late spring to early summer, with occasional light rebloom later in the season.

The combination of pink blooms and golden foliage creates a brilliant, eye-catching display.

Choose a sunny to lightly shaded location with well-drained, moderately fertile soil.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth as the container.

Loosen surrounding soil and amend with compost or organic matter to improve aeration and nutrient balance.

Set the shrub so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface, backfill, and water thoroughly to settle.

Apply a 2–3 inch mulch layer around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch a few inches away from the stems.

Space 18–24 inches apart when mass planting or using in borders.

Prune immediately after flowering in late spring or early summer to preserve next year’s buds.

Remove spent blooms and lightly shape to encourage compact growth and potential rebloom.

Thin out older stems every 2–3 years to rejuvenate and improve air circulation.

Avoid hard pruning in late summer or fall, as this may remove developing flower buds.

Maintain evenly moist soil during the first growing season for strong root establishment.

Once established, moderately drought tolerant, but regular deep watering during dry spells ensures best bloom performance.

Avoid soggy or compacted soil—good drainage is essential.

Performs best in full sun (6+ hours daily) for richest leaf color and heaviest flowering.

Tolerates light partial shade, though blooms and foliage vibrancy may be reduced.

Produces small dry seed capsules after flowering, not ornamental or showy.

Deadhead or remove spent blooms to maintain neatness and encourage possible rebloom.

Propagation best by softwood cuttings in early summer for identical plant traits.

Feed once in early spring using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (10-10-10) or organic compost.

Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nitrogen can promote leaf growth at the expense of flowers.

Apply a light mulch of compost or well-rotted manure annually to enrich the soil.

Insect-pollinated, primarily by bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Self-fertile, though cross-pollination can improve seed viability.

Flowers provide an excellent nectar source for pollinators.

Perennials: Coreopsis, Salvia, Nepeta, and Echinacea for extended color and pollinator appeal.

Shrubs: Spiraea, Potentilla, or small Berberis varieties for foliage contrast.

Evergreens: Compact Boxwood, Thuja, or Juniper for year-round structure.

Excellent for mixed borders, foundation plantings, or container arrangements.
