Grow Weigela florida 'Wine & Roses®' (also sold as Weigela 'Wine & Roses®') for dramatic dark foliage and bright, rosy-pink trumpet flowers that draw hummingbirds. You get strong color contrast from spring through fall, with the deepest leaf color in good light and evenly moist, well-drained soil.

Plant it in full sun for the best foliage color and bloom, though it will handle part shade. Water regularly the first season to help it establish, then water during dry spells. A 2-3 inch mulch layer helps keep roots cool and conserves moisture (keep mulch off the stems).

At maturity it typically reaches about 48-60 inches tall and 48-60 inches wide, making it an easy choice for borders, foundation beds, and small groupings where you want season-long leaf color plus spring bloom. It performs well in a wide range of garden soils as long as drainage is decent.

Prune right after the main spring flowering if you want to shape the plant, since flower buds form on older wood. Remove a few older stems at the base to refresh growth, and avoid heavy late-season pruning. Hardy in USDA Zones 4-8.
