Herman Geers of Holland Awards:
Weigela Wine & Roses won a
Gold Medal from the Pennsylvania Horticulture
Society and a Silver Medal from the Boskoop Royal Horticulture
Society. Wine & Roses is the only Weigela to receive each of these awards. Weigela WINE & ROSES® weigela has changed Weigela forever! The rich dark burgundy foliage is much darker than that of older varieties like Java Red. It contrasts beautifully with the rosy-pink flowers, making for a high impact display in the garden. This variety produces copious amounts of flowers in spring, and will re-bloom throughout the summer. WINE & ROSES® weigela can be enjoyed as either an accent plant or used for a dramatic mass planting. It is fast growing and trouble free, making it an easy way to add season long color to the garden. The richly colored foliage makes its branches an excellent addition to cut flower bouquets.
What people are saying about Wine & Roses® wegiela .... On our clay-laden, new construction lot, I was worried about our landscaping. Of everything we've planted, our Proven Winners® flowering shrub has performed best and most beautifully. It's been a quick grower. It gets lots of hot direct sunlight in the summer months and has thrived--and it flowers phenomenally. It also survived a very harsh southern Michigan winter. We get so many compliments on this shrub, and we love it. I'm going to plant more of these!
