Weigela
Synonym: 'Carlton'

Dark red-pink flowers, May-June and sporadically until frost. Foliage opens chartreuse and turns to irridescent silvery yellow through the growing season.

W. florida grows into a rounded mound with branches that can arch to the ground. It flowers on new growth at the end of May and into June and sporadically in the fall. Foliage is disease resistant and colors vary among the cultivars. This is an ideal choice for late spring color in combination with conifers and broadleaf evergreens. Also attractive when grown as a hedge. All W. florida are rarely severely damaged by deer and attract hummingbirds. Native to Japan.
