About This Plant
Weigela florida 'Red Prince' (Old-Fashioned Weigela), 'Red Prince', is valued for its garden character and seasonal interest in PNW landscapes.
Weigelas are deciduous shrubs with arching habit, abundant trumpet-shaped pink, red, or white flowers in late spring, and many cultivars in colored foliage forms (Wine & Roses, My Monet, Spilled Wine).
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 4 to 8. Prune just after flowering to shape. Hummingbird-attractive. Generally trouble-free.
For a Pacific Northwest native shrub of similar character, consider Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape, Oregon state flower), Philadelphus lewisii (Mock Orange), or Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray) , all support native pollinators and birds.
