Weigela florida Rumba

Rumba Weigela

Rumba Weigela pairs light green leaves with a fine purple edge. A reddish flush develops in the foliage later in summer, adding another color change to its compact, bushy outline.

Deep purple-pink flowers appear most heavily in early and midsummer, with scattered flowers continuing into autumn. Use it in a low shrub border where both the foliage and repeat bloom can be seen.

Plant in sun or partial shade with fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Allow space for its natural spread.
