Weigela Wine & Rose

Weigela florida Wine and Roses® is a selection from the Netherlands that merits your attention. Its dark burgundy leaves highlight the profusion of 1–2″ rosy pink blooms in May and June, and then add color to the garden for the rest of the season. Easily adaptable to almost any soil type, this disease-resistant shrub grows to 4–5′ with a spread of 3–5′, making it a choice addition to foundation plantings and shrub borders. A light pruning after flowering will keep growth compact, but left on their own, the branches form graceful arches. A Proven Winners®/Color Choice® variety. 'Alexandra' PP 10,772
