'Dark Horse' PP14381
Weigela florida
A smaller version of Wine & Roses fits better in small gardens! Compact/spread
This old-fashioned, flowering deciduous shrub is a superior compact form with very dark foliage and deep pink flowers in spring that contrast well with the foliage. A great landscape plant, it retains the color interest throughout the season.
Dark bronze foliage with lime green venation combines with purplish pink tubular flowers to make a dramatic statement in the landscape. The neat, compact habit is easy to maintain. Perfect for an accent or shrub border. Deciduous.
Best located on light color walls or use the intense foliage color to mark entries around porch or stoop. Essential to the middle of a shrub border for multi-season interest. Makes a good accent against yellow and lime green foliage plants. Great choice for romantic cottage garden compositions and casua l country gardens along picket fences or rails.USDA Z4 - Cold Hardy to -20 to -30(F)
