This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: May to June
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  With the emergence of the foliage in spring, this striking and reliable weigela forms an upright mound of lush leafy stems. In late spring to early summer, these are topped with open clusters of creamy-yellow bell-shaped flowers, each with a distinctly mottled orange-pink throat.
  
  
• Garden care: Once established prune each year in midsummer after flowering, removing one or two of the older stems to the base and cutting back the flowered stems to strong shoots below the spent flowers.
