Wine & Spirits Weigela (Weigela florida ‘Wine & Spirits’) is a compact, deciduous shrub prized for its colorful foliage and abundant spring blooms. The leaves emerge deep burgundy, maturing to a rich purple-green, providing visual interest throughout the growing season. In late spring, it produces a profusion of white, trumpet-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds and pollinators. Its moderate size and striking leaf and flower contrast make it well suited to Regina’s Prairie conditions.
