Pink blush varigated weigela

Question

The blooms are white. Only the slightest suggestion of pink. It was planted earlier this spring from a bare root. But is supposed to be pink. I’m not sure what to do. Yank it out and start over? Or will it produce pink blooms later?

Answer 1

Weigela is one of those plants whose flowers can change color as they age or in response to conditions. I am not familiar with this variety, but the flowers will most likely turn pink as they age or as the season goes on. I do think the Pink Blush name comes from the leaf color on this variety.
