Weigela ‘Carnaval’, also known as Carnaval weigela, is a very decorative ornamental shrub appreciated for its spectacular multicolored blossoms. This variety forms a dense shrub with a rounded and slightly spreading habit, adding volume and color to flowerbeds, borders, or flowering hedges. In spring, it produces an abundance of tubular flowers in an amazing combination of colors ranging from rosy white to vibrant pink and sometimes rosy red on the same shrub, creating a very dynamic effect in the garden. The flowers appear in clusters along the branches and attract hummingbirds and pollinators. Its deciduous, medium green foliage enhances this vibrant bloom and remains decorative all summer. Thanks to its good hardiness and moderate growth, Weigela ‘Carnaval’ is an easy-to-grow variety that brings color diversity and charm to landscape designs.
