Weigela florida (Weigela)
Color Name: Bubble Wine®
A sparkling color display on a petite shrub. Bubbly Wine is a variegated weigela with a compact mounded habit. This little shrub boasts vibrant yellow and green foliage and deep burgundy stems. In spring, it's dotted with pink trumpet-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. While pollinators enjoy this little shrub, deer don't seem to bother it. Thanks to its compact habit, Bubbly Wine tucks perfectly into many gardens in mixed borders, low hedges, or even in containers.
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.
