Midnight Wine® Weigela

This is a dwarf form of Wine & Roses® weigela that is perfect for the front of the border or container gardens. It can be used as an alternative to ‘Crimson Pygmy’ barberry. Although it is not as prolific a bloomer as Wine & Roses®, it will occasionally produce pink flowers in spring.
