Hello, So far, all the young plants have arrived in perfect condition, only the weigelia has very dry, even burnt, leaves for the majority of them. The few green leaves have dry tips. Will the plant be able to recover? Thank you for your response.

Description

Weigela (or Weigelia) florida Victoria is characterised by its magnificent bronze foliage that is almost purple. It is covered in late spring and early summer with pinkish-purple flowers.

Weigelas are easy-to-grow shrubs. They prefer full sun or partial shade but have no specific requirements regarding the type of soil.

These plants have a compact bushy and branching habit that makes them perfect for the front of flower beds. They are also suitable for container gardening.
