Like a fine wine this Weigela has good body! It is a vast improvement over similar varieties such as ‘Ruby Queen’. Its habit is tight and upright without having the tendency to split in the middle like an animal has sat on your plant. Its foliage color is similar to that of a fine wine as well, nice and dark burgundy like a cabernet. No wonder the name is FINE WINE™.
This shrub has wonderful presence in a container and the perennial border. It will make your petunias pop with excitement! The pink flowers are extremely vibrant when set against the dark burgundy foliage and with slight shearing will re-bloom through out the summer. This improved variety should be first choice when you are looking for a Weigela that is between the heights of MIDNIGHT WINE® and WINE & ROSES®.
