Summary

Deep purple foliage sets the stage for vivid pink spring blooms.

Spilled Wine® Weigela combines a compact, spreading form with richly colored foliage that holds its deep purple tones through the growing season. In late spring, branches are covered in bright pink, tubular flowers that stand out sharply against the dark leaves.

Its wider-than-tall habit makes it especially effective along walkways, at the front of borders, or in foundation plantings where bold foliage color is desired. The flowers can attract hummingbirds during bloom.

This selection offers dependable performance with minimal maintenance once established.
