Ghost Weigela (Weigela florida ‘Carlton’) pairs chartreuse foliage with vivid red flowers. The pale yellow-green leaves make a bright backdrop for the blossoms and keep the shrub visually active between flowering periods.

This reblooming selection flowers in spring and returns to bloom in fall. It is also marketed as Sonic Bloom Ghost; both names refer to the same cultivar.

Choose sun or partial shade and allow room for the shrub to reach its full width. Water while the roots become established.
