Neutral Todd_Boland On Nov 21, 2004, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

This is another of the new purple-leaved cultivars of Weigela developed by Herman Geers of Holland. This one has the darkest foliage of all on a super dwarf plant that rarely exceeds 2 feet. This shrub could easily be used in the perennial border to contrast with other perennials. Flowers are pink. It is becoming more widely available in North America.
