More about this plant
A compact, mounded deciduous weigela about three feet each way that blooms in three colors at once, carrying white, pink and red trumpet shaped flowers together from late spring into early summer. The apple green glossy foliage looks handsome all season and the plant resists deer and rabbit damage. It is very easy to grow, wants full sun and well drained soil, and needs no deadheading.
