My very favorite weigela, strong, hardy and really beautiful. My 2 y.o. plant survived winter and put on nice flower show even being very compact. I'd love it to grow bigger because the foliage looks like colorful tapestry against the green lawn.

This shrub did really well the first year I had it, then it really slowed down and didn't grow or flower much. Since then I have been able to renewal prune it and it has reponded with new growth and flowers. Hummingbirds like it.

This is a very new hybrid, developed by Andre Briant in 1998. The variegation consists of uniform bright yellow margins, sometimes edged in red. The flowers are deep red, making for a wonderful contrast. It is now commonly available. A synonym name is 'Brigela'.
