Weigela Species, Old Fashioned Weigela (Weigela florida)


Close-up of flowers.

May 2002



This is the 2nd year for this beautiful plant here in my garden. I bought it as a 1yr old plant.
I can tell this is going to be my favorite.

An arching branch hangs almost to the ground.

A pink cluster hangs from the branch tip.

Krapets, Bulgaria. Zone 7b. One of very few plants in my garden that burn their leaves. Otherwise spectacular.




This Weigela shrub grows on the edge of my woodland garden.
