Ideal placement of a Weigela 'Naomi Campbell'

How do I plant a Weigela 'Naomi Campbell'?

Soil preparation is crucial for the successful planting of Weigela 'Naomi Campbell'. Properly preparing the soil ensures good water permeability and nutrient availability, which are essential for plant growth. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil can greatly enhance these conditions. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant at planting time determines the number of plants needed per square metre; for Weigela 'Naomi Campbell', approximately 3 to 4 plants per m² is ideal. For more detailed planting instructions, consider the specific needs of your garden.

Pruning a Weigela 'Naomi Campbell'

The Weigela 'Naomi Campbell' benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done in late spring, after the flowering period in May and June. This helps to promote new blooms for the following year. Remove any dead, crossing, or protruding branches to improve air circulation and light penetration. Cutting back spent flowers can also stimulate further blooming. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease. Regular maintenance ensures the plant remains compact and vibrant, enhancing its appeal in the garden.

Watering a Weigela 'Naomi Campbell'

The Weigela 'Naomi Campbell' requires moderate watering. It is best to water deeply and less frequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. This encourages strong root growth. Early morning is the ideal time to water, reducing evaporation. During dry, sunny periods, check the soil regularly to ensure it is not too dry. Rainwater can be used for watering, which is beneficial for the plant. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether planted in the ground or in a pot. Drip irrigation systems are effective once the plant is well-established. This shrub is not particularly drought-resistant, so consistent moisture is important for its health.

Fertilising a Weigela 'Naomi Campbell'

Fertilising Weigela 'Naomi Campbell' is essential for promoting healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Using organic fertilisers is recommended, as they provide nutrients without the risk of root or leaf burn that can occur with synthetic options. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are excellent choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to support the plant's vitality. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so during dry spells, water the garden to help release nutrients into the soil for the roots to uptake.
