Weigela florida 'Alexandra', also known as Wine & Roses Weigela, is a deciduous shrub that brings vibrant color and texture to the garden. This compact cultivar typically grows 4-6 feet tall and wide, with a rounded, mounded habit. Its most striking feature is the dark burgundy-purple foliage that emerges in spring and maintains its rich hue throughout the growing season. In late spring to early summer, Weigela florida 'Alexandra' produces an abundance of tubular, hot pink flowers that attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. These blooms create a beautiful contrast against the dark foliage. Thriving in full sun, this Weigela cultivar prefers well-drained, moist soil but is adaptable to a range of growing conditions. Its compact size and vibrant color make it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, mixed borders, and containers. With its eye-catching foliage and showy flowers, Weigela florida 'Alexandra' is a standout addition to any garden.
