Electric Love® weigela (Weigela × 'Electric Love®') brings dramatic contrast to small spaces with very dark foliage and shockingly vibrant, true-red, bell-shaped flowers. You get a tidy, mounded plant that stays about 12-24 inches tall and roughly 24-36 inches wide, making it easy to tuck into mixed beds, along a walkway, or into a patio container.

Plant it where it will receive full sun for best flowering and richest foliage color. In hotter areas, a little afternoon shade can help keep the plant looking fresh, but too much shade can reduce bloom. This shrub performs best in rich, moist, well-drained soil, though it is adaptable once established. Mulch helps conserve moisture and moderates soil temperature.

For the most flowers, prune right after the main spring bloom. A light trim at that time can encourage rebloom and keeps the plant dense and compact. Avoid heavy pruning later in the season, since future buds form on new growth. Water regularly the first season; afterward, water during extended dry spells, especially in containers.

Hardy in USDA Zones 4-7, Electric Love® is a reliable, colorful choice for borders and foundation plantings. Pair it with fine-textured perennials or light-green shrubs to highlight the dark leaves and bright red flowers.
