Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Needs full sun for best flowering, but will tolerate very light shade. Prune to shape after flowering.
A deciduous, densely rounded shrub growing to 5' tall which is primarily grown for its profuse, late spring flowering. Bloom occurs singly or in clusters all along the branches of the previous year's growth, frequently covering the entire shrub with funnel-shaped, pure white flowers in May-June, with a less showy repeat bloom usually occurring in late summer. Among weigelas, the flower of this cultivar is unique as it is both fragrant and pure white. When not in flower, this shrub tends to look rather ordinary.
No serious insect or disease problems.
Effective when massed or grouped in the shrub border. Also useful as a hedge, screen or as background for the perennial border.
