Common Name: French Lace Weigela
French Lace Weigela (Weigela florida ‘Brigela’) combines dark red flowers with green leaves edged in bright yellow. The leaf pattern remains a feature between flowering periods, giving this deciduous shrub a strong presence in a mixed planting.
The main display arrives in late spring. Use its contrasting colors as a focal point, or repeat the shrub along a border with quieter green foliage between plants.
Choose a sunny position and allow room for the shrub to reach its full width. Water while the roots become established.
