Description
Weigela florida ‘Alexandra’ (Wine & Roses® Weigela) is a medium-sized, deciduous flowering shrub prized for its dramatic dark foliage and abundant rosy-pink spring flowers. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this shrub typically grows 4–5 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded, upright to slightly spreading habit with strong branching. Its bold foliage color and reliable flowering make it a standout focal plant in mixed borders and foundation plantings.
In mid to late spring, Wine & Roses® Weigela is covered in masses of bright rosy-pink, trumpet-shaped flowers that line the stems and contrast strikingly against the foliage. Leaves emerge deep purple to nearly black in spring, retain rich burgundy-purple tones through summer, and deepen further in fall, providing long-lasting seasonal interest even after flowering has finished. The plant may produce light reblooming later in the season, especially in full sun.
Ideal for shrub borders, mass plantings, hedges, and accent plantings, Wine & Roses® Weigela offers bold color, strong structure, and pollinator appeal with minimal maintenance.
