Weigela florida 'Wine & Spirits' is a deciduous flowering shrub known for its bold contrast between deep, dark foliage and crisp white flowers. The leaves are a rich burgundy or near-black color, providing striking interest throughout the growing season.
In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of white, tubular flowers that stand out vividly against the dark foliage. The shrub has a mounded, upright form and typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall and wide.
This variety thrives in full sun and is adaptable to various soil types, as long as the soil is well-drained. It's hardy in USDA zones 4 through 8 and is relatively low-maintenance. Pruning should be done just after flowering since it blooms on old wood. It also attracts pollinators like hummingbirds and bees, while being resistant to deer.
'Wine & Spirits' is ideal for use in borders, mass plantings, or as a statement plant in the landscape, offering long-lasting foliage color and seasonal floral interest.
