Weigela florida ‘Wine & Roses’® is a very popular deciduous shrub known for its spectacular contrast between its dark purple foliage and its abundant bright pink blooms in spring. This weigela develops a dense, rounded, bushy habit, slightly wider than it is tall, making it an excellent choice for borders, low hedges, and foundation plantings. Its intense pink tubular flowers generously cover the branches and actively attract pollinators. Even after flowering, its dark foliage retains strong ornamental value and structures landscape designs throughout the season. Hardy and easy to grow, Weigela florida ‘Wine & Roses’® prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to intensify its coloration. It is a reliable choice for creating contrast, depth, and dynamism in the garden.
