Intense Purple-Black foliage provides season long interest and
color!
Small, dwarfing habit makes FINE WINE® weigela perfect for
use in the front of the border or for edging. Also great in perennial
beds.
The tidy mound of dark purple foliage can be used as an accent
plant or a dramatic mass planting. Consider it instead of crimson
pygmy barberry: FINE WINE® weigela doesn’t have any thorns!
