Weigela florida ‘Towers of Flowers® Apple Blossom’: A Column of Soft Pink Bloom

A Proven Winners® selection with a fresh, architectural habit, Weigela florida ‘Towers of Flowers® Apple Blossom’ flowers in a way that feels completely different from traditional mounded weigelas. Pale pink blooms appear in clusters along the full length of its upright stems in early to mid spring, creating a tall, floral “spire” effect from top to bottom. It often adds a light encore of flowers sporadically through summer, keeping the shrub lively well past the main spring show. With a narrow vase-shaped form, it brings height, bloom, and structure without taking over the bed.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 120 cm
• Spread: 90 cm
• Flower Colour: Pale pink
• Flowering Period: Early to mid spring, with sporadic bloom in summer
• Foliage: Deciduous green foliage
• Sunlight Requirements: Full sun to part shade
• Soil Requirements: Moist, well-drained soil

Uses and Benefits: Ideal for narrow beds, small gardens, and modern landscapes, ‘Towers of Flowers® Apple Blossom’ acts like a vertical accent that also flowers heavily. Use it to punctuate mixed shrub borders, add height beside entries, or create a repeating rhythm in a planting where you want an upright line without the bulk of a wider shrub. The spring bloom supports early pollinators, and the tidy, columnar habit keeps the design looking crisp and intentional.

Care Instructions: Plant in full sun for the best flowering and a denser habit, with part shade suitable in hotter locations. Water regularly during the first growing season, then provide moisture during extended dry spells to keep growth lush and bloom buds strong. Prune right after the main spring bloom if shaping is needed, focusing on light trimming rather than heavy cuts. A layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and keeps roots cooler through summer.

History: ‘Towers of Flowers® Apple Blossom’ was selected for its unusual columnar form and its flower placement, with blooms appearing along the length of upright stems rather than only at the tips. This design-friendly habit makes it especially useful for tighter landscapes that still want the classic charm of spring weigela bloom, offered as part of the Proven Winners® lineup.

Final Thoughts: When you want spring bloom with a more vertical, space-smart silhouette, ‘Towers of Flowers® Apple Blossom’ delivers soft pink colour in a clean, upright form that fits beautifully into today’s gardens.
