Wine & Roses Weigela

The Wine & Roses® Weigela is a colorful and bright shrub that is easy to grow in any garden. It has rich purple leaves from spring to fall, and for 8 weeks in May and June it is covered in large blooms, whose old-rose pink coloring stands out perfectly against the foliage. After pruning it will bloom again in late summer and early fall. It grows into a graceful mound of arching stems, about 5 feet tall and 6 feet across, and it fits perfectly into a shrub bed, at the back of smaller beds, and in the middle of larger ones. It can be planted as a single specimen, as a group of 3 or 5, or as an informal hedge, where it will bring color for the whole garden season.

• Rich deep-purple foliage from spring to fall
• Profuse blooming in May, June and early fall
• Large, funnel-shaped old-rose pink flowers
• Easy to grow in any garden
• Tough, reliable and deer resistant

The Wine & Roses® Weigela is hardy across almost all the country, and it grows anywhere, even in urban areas. It thrives best in full sun, in ordinary well-drained soil, although it will grow in light shade too, and in most conditions. It is moderately drought resistant, but it will bloom best with regular watering. It should be pruned immediately after flowering, to encourage a second blooming and to keep its attractive open form. It normally has no pests or diseases and deer usually don’t bother it.
