Spring bloomer Weigela Dark Horse PP14381 is a compact shrub with a dramatic dark foliage which stays true to color despite the heat and sun. It produces petite pink blooms that pop against the contrasting foliage color. Dark Horse is a tidy shrub and grows to be 24-36”. So easy to maintain as it will keep its neat compact shape. Use as a border and watch butterflies come visit. (Weigela PP#14381)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Weigela is a low maintenance shrub with big rewards. It’s a traditional old fashioned shrub that has proven itself as a keeper. Weigela produces arching stems that produce bell-shaped blossoms in late spring to early summer. Their colorful blooms attract birds, feed the bees and add vibrant color to gardens. There are many types of Weigela. Of those types, some have variegated foliage, dark-colored foliage and traditional green foliage. The blossoms come in colors such as: pink, hot pink and white. When planting, make sure to take into consideration how big the shrub could get. Some Weigela grow up to 10 feet tall and wide. Weigela loves full sun and well-draining soil, but will tolerate some shade. Plant for privacy, in a border or for added interest in any garden.
