Beautiful dark red trumpets open in late spring on 6-8' shrubs. Very prolific blooms attract hummingbirds like a magnet. Bees and butterflies are also drawn to the flowers. Very hardy, drought resistant and easily grown.

'Red Prince' is the red-flowered counterpart to 'Pink Princess'. It was also developed in the United States with similar plant habits to 'Pink Princess'. It often reblooms later in the season. It is also a little hardier than most Weigela.

A beautiful flowering shrub with open form. Grows well in full sun, can tolerate dry soil and flowers profusely. A nice bonus is the deep red wine coloring of the leaves in autumn!
