Weigela Maroon Swoon
The Maroon Swoon® Weigela offers a profusion of jewel-toned, deep maroon-red blooms on a compact, mounded shrub. This reblooming variety from the Bloomin' Easy® Date Night™ series is a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies, attracted to its crimson, bell-shaped flowers. Vibrant chartreuse foliage matures to rich green, providing a beautiful contrast. Ideal for smaller landscapes, containers, borders, or informal hedges, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering a long-lasting color display from late spring through fall. It's a low-maintenance, pest-free addition to any garden. The Weigela Maroon Swoon® is a striking shrub that offers a dramatic display of deep red, trumpet-shaped blooms against attractive green foliage. This variety is known for its pleasing sweet fragrance, blooming in late spring and potentially reblooming in summer. It's an easy-to-care-for plant that is both cold-hardy and deer-resistant. Its mid-sized habit makes it the ideal companion to plant in beds and borders or to star in their own containers to brighten up a patio or porch, adding beautiful color and a lovely scent to any sunny space.
