About the
Wiegela - Java Red :
The Wiegela 'Java Red', Weigela florida
'Java Red', is one of the oldest Wiegelas.
It is a dwarf, only rarely exceeding four
feet of height, making it at its biggest
half the size of the majority of Weigelas.
Due to its compact habit it is one of the
least prone to ranginess when left unpruned,
though some degree of ranginess seems
inescapable even with a compact dwarf.
This compact, mounding shrub displays
attractive red buds that open to deep pink
blooms. The deep green foliage has an
interesting purplish cast. This plant is
useful as a background planting, summer
screen or in shrub borders. This shrub is
deciduous.
