Deciduous shrub for light shade with rounded opposite leaves emerging golden yellow; showy pink tubular flowers.
Weigelas are spreading shrubs found in woodland margins in eastern Asia. They are cultivated for their showy tubular flowers borne in spring on short laterals on the previous year's growth. They are best cultivated in fertile well drained soil in a sunny spot protected from drying winds or in light shade in hotter areas. They are fully frost hardy. Weigela florida looymansii aurea is a particularly beautiful shrub with the new leaves being an almost luminous golden yellow, a perfect foil for the clusters of pink and ruby shaded flowers. The leaves age to a deeper green during summer.
