Weigela florida 'Minuet'
Enjoy a spectacular display of fragrant rosy-pink blooms of ruby-red on exterior, lilac-purple lobes with yellow throat against a backdrop of purple-tinged foliage. Use in shrub borders or as garden accent.
Fun fact: Weigela was named for a C.E. Weigel (1748-1831), a German Professor.
