• Dense, mounded habit stays naturally tidy at just 2 to 3 ft. tall and 3 to 4 ft. wide

• Low-maintenance, deer-resistant, and well-suited for borders, foundations, and mixed beds

Some shrubs make you work for them. The Dwarf Wine & Roses Weigela is not one of those shrubs. This compact, well-behaved ornamental delivers two of the most sought-after qualities in a landscape plant — extraordinary foliage color and showy flowers — in a size that fits almost anywhere. The deep burgundy leaves hold their color reliably through the season, and in late spring, a flush of warm rosy-pink blooms covers the arching branches in a combination that genuinely stops people in their tracks. It's a plant that earns its spot in the garden every single year.

Why You'll Love the Wine & Roses Weigela

Foliage That Carries the Show. Most flowering shrubs give you a few weeks of blooms and spend the rest of the season blending into the background. The deep wine and burgundy foliage on this Weigela is ornamental all season long, providing rich color contrast against lighter-leaved neighbors, golden grasses, or green hedging from the moment leaves emerge until they drop in fall. In cooler temperatures, that color deepens even further.

Blooms That Bring the Hummingbirds. The tubular, rosy-pink flowers that appear in late spring are exactly the shape hummingbirds and pollinators gravitate toward. Under good growing conditions, the plant can push a light second flush of blooms in summer, extending that color and wildlife activity beyond the main show.

A Size That Works in Real Gardens. At 2 to 3 feet tall with a slightly wider spread, this is a shrub you can actually use in tight spaces, front-of-border plantings, and foundation beds without constant pruning to keep it in bounds. The naturally mounded, arching habit looks intentional and polished with very little intervention from you.

Tough and Adaptable. The Dwarf Wine & Roses Weigela handles a wide range of soil types — including clay and loam — and tolerates the kind of urban conditions that stress out more finicky plants. Cold-hardy through Zone 4 and moderately drought tolerant once established, it performs reliably across a broad swath of the country.

A Natural Companion Plant. The deep foliage color pairs beautifully with plants that have lighter green, chartreuse, or golden foliage. Use it to anchor a mixed border, repeat it in a mass planting for bold effect, or tuck it into a foundation bed where you want something that looks good for six or seven months with minimal upkeep.

Wine and Roses Weigela Care Guide

• Plant in full sun for the richest foliage color and the heaviest bloom set; light shade is tolerated, but color will be less intense
• This shrub is adaptable to a variety of well-drained soils; at planting, working in our Organic Potting Mix helps establish a healthy root zone.
• Water regularly through the first growing season; once established, it handles dry stretches reasonably well
• Mulch around the base to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and keep weeds in check
• Fertilize in early spring with our Root Boosting Slow Release Fertilizer to support healthy growth heading into the season; avoid heavy feeding, which can actually reduce flowering

Plant this shrub in full sun for the greatest show of springtime blooms. Weigela may also be planted in light shade, however, the shrub will not produce as many blooms. Hardy in USDA growing zones 4-8, the Wine & Roses weigela will not need any special care to overwinter outdoors. It has an upright growing habit and will reach a mature size of 5-feet wide and 5-feet tall. The growth rate is up to 1 foot per year.
