Weigela Prism Arabian Nights

Weigela Prism Arabian Nights is a compact shrub with re-blooming cherry-red tubular flowers and small dark-black foliage.

Weigela Prism Arabian Nights is a fabulous new take on an old fashioned shrub. Small and beautifully formed, glossy dark-black foliage and black stems makes for a stunning compact and dwarf shrub all on its own. And then, in late spring to early summer, expect an eye-popping and contrasting display of cherry-red tubular flowers with a secondary flush in late summer. Growth habit is a very compact form of 24 inches tall with an 18 inch spread. Stunning as a mass planted ground cover, in the mixed sunny border and as the thriller in the mixed container. Very tidy, low maintenance and seldom needs pruning. Hummingbird and pollinator attractor. Cultivar name ‘WG17-18’
