Weigela subsessilis is a species of Weigela native in South Korea. It can be found on most of the mountains of South Korea, especially on the Jiri Mountain.

Etymology

The genus name, Weigela, is named after the German scientist Christian Ehrenfried Weigel.[2] The species epithet subsessilis, is from the term subsessile, which means "nearly, but not quite sessile." The root, sessilis is derived from Latin, which means low, dwarf in plants.[3]

The species which have buttery-yellow flowers are also called as the Canary Weigela.
