Weigela ‘Variegata Nana’

Value: $ 15 

Weigelas are shrubs with paired, pointed-oval, rough-textured leaves, up to 4 inches long, and generous crops of bell shaped flowers in summer. The flowers are usually around an inch long and red to pink in color, though there are also white forms. The plants tend to look a bit ragged after blooming, though in our climate they can be pruned frequently for fresh waves of lusher growth and sometimes, even further waves of bloom.

Weigela 'Variegata Nana' is a smaller selection than the typical form with compact growth to about 3 feet, large leaves margined in pale yellow and pink flowers with dark centers. This is an easily grown shrub, thriving in sun and most soils, with moderate watering. Hardy to 0 degrees or less.
