Weigela florida All Summer Monet ('Verweig 8') (PBR) (All Summer Series)
weigela or weigelia
This showy new addition has an incredibly long flowering period, so it's ideal for sustaining the display in pots and borders. Its foliage is a beautiful blend of green, cream and pink (the pink becomes less pronounced as the leaves mature), and from late spring to mid-autumn, pink bell-shaped flowers add to the display as they form along the length of the stems. This small deciduous shrub can tolerate some shade, but for the most colourful display it should be grown in a sunny spot.
