Wine And Roses Weigela
I had 5 Weigela bushes get eaten by rabbits this winter. Will they survive once the spring rains come?
They were eaten down to having sticks that are only 1″-3″ above ground. Two wine and roses, and three other Weigelas…

Are there any tricks to help them along? Should I fertilize them or just let all of the rabbit droppings take care of this?
They will return and you don’t have to do anything to them just assure your rabbits stay away from them so they can return to normal.

What people are saying …
All Star! I bought this plant in the spring of 2006. I planted it immediately, in a raised bed, in full sun. I did not have any flowers in 2006; but the leaf color was terrific…definitely a dark burgundy. It is now March 2007 and this plant is 4ft tall and 3 ft wide. The shape is upright and full…very nice! Leaves have begun to emerge and I am waiting on the flowers. An added bonus is, I’ve had no pest/bug problems. Overall, I am VERY satisfied with the look and performance of this plant. – Gail, NC, Zone 7
On our clay-laden, new construction lot, I was worried about our landscaping. Of everything we’ve planted, our Proven Winners flowering shrub has performed best and most beautifully. It’s been a quick grower. It gets lots of hot direct sunlight in the summer months and has thrived–and it flowers phenomenally. It also survived a very harsh southern Michigan winter. We get so many compliments on this shrub, and we love it. I’m going to plant more of these! – Jennifer, MI, Zone 5
Great plant! Flowers profusely in mid-late spring. Easy & beatiful-great color. Grew slowly initially, finally grew about a foot just this spring. Have had plant for 3 yrs total. – Sue, Zone 6 Missouri
