Red Prince Weigela

The Red Prince Weigela is a compact, mounding shrub displays rich-red flowers featured against dark green leaves. Useful in a background planting, flowering screen or in shrub borders. Tendency for a secondary bloom in late summer, particularly if spring bloom was sparse. Developed at Iowa State University. The most important characteristic of this plant is its ability to hold its flower color (red) as they age rather than taking on a purplish tint which often happens with other varieties. Hardier than W. ‘Vaniceki’.
