Wine and Rose Weigela

Wine and Rose Weigela is a deciduous flowering shrub known for rosy pink trumpet-shaped blooms, dramatic dark purple foliage, and a full upright form. It adds bold contrast to sunny foundations, mixed borders, hedges, mass plantings, and colorful shrub beds.

Why choose Wine and Rose Weigela?

Choose Wine and Rose Weigela for a standout combination of deep purple foliage and bright pink spring flowers. Its colorful leaves provide interest well beyond bloom time, making it useful as a foliage accent even after the main spring display has finished. The upright, rounded habit fits beautifully into shrub borders, foundation plantings, sunny hedges, and groupings. Its tubular flowers are also attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, adding lively seasonal movement to the garden.

Wine and Rose Weigela Additional Information

Wine and Rose Weigela blooms heavily in spring, producing rosy pink, trumpet-shaped flowers that stand out beautifully against its dark purple to burgundy foliage. Some plants may produce lighter reblooming later in summer, especially when growing conditions are favorable. The foliage remains a key ornamental feature through the growing season, providing rich contrast beside green, gold, silver, or variegated companion plants.

This shrub is deciduous, dropping its leaves in winter before returning with fresh growth in spring. Wine and Rose Weigela works well as a specimen shrub, flowering hedge, mass planting, foundation accent, container feature, or mixed border plant. Since weigela blooms primarily on old wood, prune shortly after the main spring flowering period if shaping is needed. This timing helps preserve flower buds for the following season while keeping the shrub tidy and full.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Wine and Rose Weigela in full sun with well-drained soil. Set the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly after planting.

2. Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during the first growing season while roots establish. Once established, water during extended dry periods, especially in hot, sunny exposures or sandy soils.

3. Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release fertilizer for trees and shrubs in early spring if growth or flowering needs support. Follow the product label and avoid overfeeding, which can encourage excess leafy growth.

4. Pruning: Prune immediately after spring flowering. Lightly shape the shrub, remove damaged branches, or thin older stems to encourage fresh growth while protecting next year’s flower buds.
