Flowers are attractive to hummingbirds.
Dark pink flowers with pale pink-white interiors, to 1 1/4 inches long are produced in corymbs on short lateral twigs on previous years growth in late spring to early summer.
This deciduous shrub is grown for its showy bell-shaped flowers and spreading, arching growth habit.
The Variegated Wiegela, Weigela florida 'Variegata', has a compact habit, growing 4-6' high and wide.
Very nice in a mixed shrub border.
It has grey leaves with yellow/cream fringes, and dark pink flowers.

Make a plastic root cellar by sinking a garbage can into the ground with the rim 3 inches above the ground. Line the bottom of the garbage can with 2 inches of damp sand, repeat this with each layer of vegetables. Finally, place a 1 to 2 foot high pile of leaves and straw over the top followed by a plastic film held down by rocks.
