The earliest flowering weigela, Weigela praecox is a dense, rounded, deciduous shrub with fragrant clusters of funnel-shaped, rose-pink flowers adorned with yellow throats. Blooming in mid to late spring, the blossoms are attractive to hummingbirds. They stand out against the foliage of ovate, pointed, medium green leaves.
