- Description
A sparkling color display on a petite shrub. Bubbly Wine® weigela is a variegated selection of Fine Wine® weigela with a compact mounded habit. This little shrub boasts vibrant yellow and green foliage and deep burgundy stems. In spring, it’s dotted with pink trumpet-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. While pollinators enjoy this little shrub, deer don’t seem to bother it. Thanks to its compact habit, Bubbly Wine® weigela tucks perfectly into many gardens in mixed borders, low hedges, or even in containers. Bubbly Wine® Weigela florida was discovered by the plantsman Jeff Good of Southeast Michigan.
