Winter hardiness of Weigela

Weigela Thunb.

The ability of Weigela cultivars to withstand sub-zero temperatures and recover after winter, assessed by the degree of shoot frost damage and physiological-biochemical indicators.

In the reference 8 varieties crop Bush Honeysuckle, where this is mentioned in the description.

To assess the winter hardiness of Weigela, scoring scales based on the degree of damage to annual shoots after winter are used: ranging from partial frost damage to the complete death of the plant. Physiological and biochemical indicators, such as water deficit and cell sap concentration, are also used as diagnostic criteria for adaptability.

A biological trait of the crop that reduces winter hardiness is the tendency of some cultivars to continue growing until late autumn, which leads to entering the winter with non-lignified shoots. At the same time, Weigela possesses a high regenerative capacity, allowing it to quickly regrow its crown and bloom in the same season even after damage from low temperatures.
