Weigela 'French Lace'

FamilyCaprifoliaceae

Weigela florida 'French Lace' is a luminous deciduous shrub valued for its golden variegated foliage and delicate pink blooms in spring. This weigela develops a flexible, bushy habit, slightly wider than it is tall, offering a beautiful presence in borders, low hedges, or foundation plantings. Its soft green leaves, broadly edged with creamy yellow, brighten sunny areas and maintain decorative interest throughout the season. In spring, abundant light pink tubular flowers appear along the branches, effectively attracting pollinators. Hardy and easy to maintain, Weigela florida 'French Lace' adapts to well-drained soils and prefers a sunny to partially shaded exposure to maximize the intensity of its variegation. It makes an excellent choice for bringing freshness, contrast, and texture to landscape designs.
