Wine & Roses Weigela is an award-winning ornamental shrub that commands attention with its striking combination of deep burgundy foliage and vibrant rose-colored trumpet flowers. Hardy across zones 5 through 9, this cultivar of Weigela florida grows to about 5 feet tall and wide, making it a sculptural focal point in any garden. The foliage alone is dramatic enough to star in fresh arrangements alongside shasta daisies and lilies, but when spring arrives and the blooms emerge, hummingbirds flock to drink from the delicate flowers. Even after the initial mid-spring flush, light pruning coaxes it into reblooming, extending the show throughout the season.
