This dwarf, compact weigela is loaded with shockingly vibrant red flowers in late-spring to early summer. The red flowers are set off against dark maroon foliage, which adds depth and interest to the garden even after the flowers are spent. Trim lightly after its bloom to encourage a rebloom. At 1-2' tall and 2-3' wide, it will fit almost anywhere as a container plant, garden specimen or as a mass planting. Grows in full sun and is hardy to Zone 4.
