Maroon Swoon Weigelia

Maroon Swoon®, with a stunning contrast of dark red flowers against rich green foliage will make people stop and stare. Masses of exceptionally dark maroon flowers and a compact form make the Maroon Swoon Weigela an excellent shrub for landscapes or patios with limited space. The fragrant flowers appear in late spring and again in autumn and attract hummingbirds and butterflies. They are reliable performers, with few maintenance requirements and minimal pest issues. This hardy little shrub also features rich, deep green foliage that complement the trumpet-shaped blooms when used in cut flower bouquets.  

Growing Habit:

4-5' both tall and wide at maturity. Deciduous. Full Sun. Loaded with dark red bell-shaped, fragrant flowers. 

Care:

Pro tip: to encourage rebloom, trim lightly just after the first blooms have finished. Provide at least 6 hours of direct light a day, but allow some afternoon shade in the hottest growing zones. Any well-drained, moderately moist soil in the ground or a pot with ample drainage and enriched soil works great!

Toxicity:

Weigela is not poisonous and is safe around all animals. Attractive to hummingbirds and disliked by deer and rabbits.
