Weigela Florida - Alexandra


Weigela Florida - Alexandra

I love the dark bronze coloured leaves and then they get this lovely flower popping out. It is still very small but beginning to grow taller, have no idea how big it really gets will have to do some research it is only about 2ft tall at the most at the minute, hoping it grows much bigger.

Yay! I love Weigela! I might take some cuttings of my W. middendorfiana later...the one with the big yellow flowers that look like foxglove flowers.

I loved this one when I saw it, just had to have it, I had no idea what colour flower it had it is nearly red the flower, so very pretty. I really bought it for the bronze leaf it has, so big bonus the dark pink flowers. :O)
