Description of the plant:
NAIN ROUGE® is a beautiful new weigela from France. It produces abundance of rich red, funnel-shaped flowers with conspicuous beige anthers that contrast with the vibrant red colour of the flowers. They come out in late spring and early summer. Leaves are deciduous, elliptic with a pointed tip.Weigelas thrive in semi-fertile, slightly moist soil, preferably in full sun. They can take heavy and compacted soil, too, but will need more time to grow nice. Pruning: remove flowering branches right after flowering by about two thirds in early summer. Hardy to some -29°C (USDA zone 5) but not suitable for outdoor pots (risk of drying out in winter).
