Weigela 'Maroon Swoon'
FamilyCaprifoliaceae
Weigela ‘Maroon Swoon’ is a deciduous ornamental shrub with an upright, slightly arching habit, prized for its dark purple foliage and spectacular deep red blooms. In spring, it is covered in an abundance of trumpet-shaped, burgundy-red flowers that strongly contrast with the dark foliage, creating a dramatic effect in borders or informal hedges. Its more vertical silhouette than traditional weigelas makes it an excellent choice for structuring a landscape or creating a colorful focal point. Weigela ‘Maroon Swoon’ prefers full sun exposure to intensify the color of its foliage and ensure abundant flowering. Adapted to well-drained soils, it offers excellent hardiness and a remarkable presence in northern gardens.
