Family
Caprifoliaceae
Weigela florida ‘Stunner’ is a remarkable deciduous shrub known for its bright variegated foliage and abundant spring blooms. This weigela develops a bushy, dense habit, slightly wider than it is tall, offering beautiful structure in borders or foundation plantings. Its green foliage with cream margins creates an elegant contrast that remains decorative all season, even after flowering. Bright pink, tubular bell-shaped flowers generously cover the branches in spring and actively attract pollinators. Very hardy and easy to grow, it prefers well-drained soil and a sunny to partially shaded exposure to optimize foliage coloration. Weigela florida ‘Stunner’ is an excellent choice for adding brilliance and texture to landscape designs, whether as a specimen plant, a low hedge, or in a mixed border.
