Weigela florida Red Prince

Red Prince Weigela

Red Prince weigela holds its strong red flower color as the blossoms age. The main late-spring to early-summer display may be followed by scattered later flowers on a dense, upright deciduous shrub.

Its structure combines dense branching and upright growth. Growth is fast. The leaves are shed for winter.

Choose a sunny, open site. Provide acidic, well-drained soil. Prune after the main bloom to preserve the following spring’s display.
