Variegated Weigela

Weigela florida 'Variegata'

     A spectacular achievement in plants, the Variegated Weigela has very pronounced variegated leaves which make this shrub a star, in and of itself. But the magic begins when this colorful shrub comes into bloom. Attracting butterflies and hummingbirds alike, the funnel-like white and pink flowers bloom profusely for weeks on end in Spring. Reblooms sparingly later in the summer season.

     Variegated Weigela grows to a height of 4 - 6 feet, with an equal spread. The general form of Weigela florida 'Variegata' is compact with a weeping habit. A wonderful shrub that requires very little annual care. Planted 4 - 5 feet apart in rows, multiple plants make a rather magnificent dividing hedge.
