Transplanting Weigelia - Tips and Tricks
Sometimes it's time to reshape a garden, plant a hedge, or loosen existing structures. Then the conversion of perennials and shrubs is required, but not all tolerate transplanting equally well.
Does a weigela tolerate transplanting?
The Weigelie is not only hardy and easy to maintain, it also tolerates the transplanting, provided that you go about it carefully. Also, your Weigelie should not be older than about four years when moving.
What should I pay attention to when transplanting?
Bear in mind when digging that the weigela roots are relatively shallow and form a rather large root ball. The less you damage it, the less the plant suffers from the move. Pay special attention to the sensitive fine roots. Ideal is the transplanting on a rather covered and not too hot day.
At the new location, pick up a large planting hole that should be significantly larger than the root ball. Slightly loosen the soil at the bottom and put a little rotting compost into the hole as starting fertilizer. Then put in the weigela, fill up the soil and water the plant well.
Transplanting step by step:
Does the Weigelie need special care after transplanting?
In the first weeks after transplanting you should water your Weigelie regularly. If she is firmly rooted after some time, then she needs no additional water.With a layer of bark mulch you keep the soil moist with your Weigelie. If it was transplanted late in the fall, then a light winter protection is recommended.
Tips
The older a Weigelie becomes, the more she suffers from a relocation. That's why you should transplant these shrubs as young as possible.
