Weigela florida ‘Purpurea’ is a beautiful ornamental flowering shrub, supplied as an XL approximately 40–50cm tall established plant in a substantial 5 litre pot. With its strong established growth, rich purple-toned foliage and contrasting pink flowers, it is an excellent choice for instant gardening, providing immediate colour, structure and a more mature appearance from the moment it is planted.
‘Purpurea’ is particularly prized for its attractive bronze-purple to deep green-purple foliage, which creates superb contrast throughout the growing season. During late spring and summer, the foliage is complemented by masses of pretty pink trumpet-shaped flowers, producing a colourful display and attracting bees and other pollinating insects.
At approximately 40–50cm tall and established in a generous 5 litre pot, this is a substantial nursery-grown shrub offering an excellent head start over smaller young plants. Its combination of colourful foliage and flowers makes it ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, feature planting and colourful landscaping schemes, either planted individually or grouped for greater impact.
