Comments: Weigela Florida 'French Lace' Brigela or Variegated
Weigela is a new hybrid beautiful
deciduous shrub with variegated leaves developed by Andre Briant in 1998.
This is a show-stopper plant with its colorful display of flowers in
late May and June that attract
hummingbirds. Prune out oldest wood right after blooms for maximum
flower production.

looks fabulous in the back of the perennial border.
