Weigela florida Wine & Roses® is a striking deciduous shrub noted for its foliage of narrowly ovate, shiny, dark purple leaves all season long. In spring and throughout the summer, rosy-pink flowers are produced in great quantities and make for a striking contrast. The trumpet-like flowers are adored by hummingbirds. Easy to grow, this flowering shrub is perfect to add a splash of radiant color in the sunny border. Makes a wonderful cut flower along with its foliage too!
