Weigela 'Nana Purpurea'
FamilyCaprifoliaceae
Weigela florida 'Nana Purpurea' is a compact deciduous shrub known for its bronze-purple foliage and abundant pink blooms in spring. This weigela forms a dense, rounded bush, wider than it is tall, making it ideal for borders, low beds, and front-of-house plantings. Its dark foliage highlights tubular carmine-pink flowers that generously cover the branches and attract pollinators to the garden. Even after flowering, the purple hue of the foliage retains significant ornamental interest, structuring plantings throughout the season. Hardy and easy to grow, Weigela florida 'Nana Purpurea' adapts to well-drained soils and prefers a sunny to partially shaded exposure to intensify its coloration. It is an excellent choice for adding contrast and depth to small landscape areas.
