Accordingly, does weigela have deep roots?

A weigela 48 inches high requires a root ball 20 inches in diameter and 14 inches deep, so you should root prune in a circle somewhat larger than this. It helps to draw a circle on the soil before you begin digging with the spade. The taller the shrub, the larger and deeper the rootball must be.

Subsequently, question is, can you split weigela? The most successful way to propagate your weigela is through taking a cutting from an established shrub. This will help you get several new plants started as it is quite easy to achieve a Weigela rooting through cuttings. From a mature plant you can cut off a branch to start your Weigela shrub.

In this regard, how do you transplant a weigela bush?

Transplant Time Digging at least 15 inches from the trunk in a circular path around the shrub and a depth of 15 to 20 inches removes the portion of the roots that were pruned during the summer. Transplanting should occur before the spring flush of growth to prevent stress that can affect flower production.
