Crave color, but don't have space for a large flowering shrub? Try the fabulous reblooming Maroon Swoon® Weigela (Weigela x Slingco 2') for a profusion of jewel-toned blooms. Don't worry, it will stay nice, tight and compact, growing in a sweetly mounded shape.

This is one of the new-fashioned Weigelas and we just know you'll fall deeply in love with this exciting selection from Blooming Easy Date Night™ series. The unusually deep dark maroon flowers are remarkable!

And this shrub is just loaded with these rare color blooms. You'll immediately notice the deep maroon red the day the first bloom opens. It's a hot accent to your landscape.

Use them in containers on your patio, or as a low hedge. Just be ready to see hummingbirds and butterflies flocking to this plant. They adore those crimson, bell-shaped flowers, and so will you!

The heaviest bloom is later spring and then later summer into fall. Don't worry, you will always be able to find flowers to cut for your indoor bouquets.

Vibrant, chartreuse new foliage matures into summer's rich, green leaves, which are a perfect complement. Much like you would for Roses, be sure to trim some of the lightly serrated foliage to offset the blooms in cut flower arrangements.

Discover Weigela all over again with this mid-sized, ornamental shrub. Any place you put a Maroon Swoon draws your eye with its fantastic color and long-lasting display that bursts onto the scene in spring and persist throughout the summer and into autumn.

Prolific Maroon Swoon Weigela can make you swoon with its breathtaking color and exceptional performance. Order today!

How to Use Maroon Swoon® Weigela in the Landscape

Maroon Swoon Weigela is a terrific plant to create a long, colorful border at the back of your flower bed. Repeat these short shrubs at regular intervals to give your plantings a showy punctuation point that produce massive amounts of blooms.

Or, plant them closer together to create a fantastic, informal hedge that flowers all season. Plant them 2 1/2 feet apart on center. You'll measure from the center of one to the center of the next. Hide those utility boxes and air conditioning units with these colorful, maintenance-free shrubs.

Even just one gives a stunning splash of deep color that will persist all season. Use in patio pots on your porch or along your pool deck. You will love the look!

Try these excellent, shorter, deciduous shrubs on either side of your entrance. Maroon Swoon Weigela are very modern foundation plants that effortlessly highlight your home.

Don't forget to include some Maroon Swoon in your Butterfly Gardens. Add to cutting gardens as the dramatic flowers are wonderful in arrangements.

#ProPlantTips for Care

While Weigelas will tolerate a position in partial shade, they do bloom best in full sun. Give them at least 4 hours of direct sunlight. Provide a well-drained soil and a moderate amount of water on a regular basis.

Because this plant blooms early in the season on last year's wood, it is best pruned in late winter or early spring. If you want to shorten your plant, please wait to remove any of the top growth until after the first round of flowers are finished.

Rejuvenate your mature Maroon Swoon Weigela by pruning out the oldest, fattest stems down to the ground every three years or so. Leave the thin, young stems to provide the most amazing blooms for you, your family, friends and all those little hummingbirds and butterflies.
