Weigela florida (Weigela)
Color Name: Wine & Spirits®
An update on our classic Wine & Roses weigela, this vigorous, handsome variety combines even more dramatic dark foliage with crisp white-green flowers. A real showstopper in the landscape.
Crisp white flowers add a touch of class when displayed against the dark glossy foliage. The foliage contrasts beautifully with the white flowers, making for a high impact display in the garden. This variety produces copious amounts of flowers in spring. The trumpet-like flowers are adored by hummingbirds! Try using Wine & Spirits colorful branches in flower arrangements. It can also be enjoyed as an accent plant or used for a dramatic mass planting. It is fast growing and trouble free, making it an easy way to add season long color to the garden.
Growing Tips: Late to leaf out in spring. May require a bit of pruning to clean up winter damage - wait until new growth appears to do so.
Soil: Adapts to any well-drained site.
Pruning: Blooms on old wood - prune as needed after flowering, though this very compact, dwarf variety will rarely require it. Remove oldest stems every 3-5 years to encourage vigorous juvenile growth.
Uses: Shrub borders; mixed borders; edging; groundcover; containers.
