Weigela florida 'Vinho Verde'
Striking light green foliage with bold black margins makes this plant a standout in any garden. In late spring, it produces vibrant red-pink blooms that attract hummingbirds. It has a naturally tidy growth habit and is easy to grow and maintain.
Attracts pollinators and thrives with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Blooms on new wood. Ideal for borders, containers, landscapes, and mass plantings. A low-maintenance option with high visual impact.
