Weigela 'Dark Horse' is a deciduous flowering shrub. Outstanding dark, near-black burgundy foliage contrasts dramatically with bright rose-pink flowers in spring — one of the most striking foliage-flower color combinations in any compact shrub. Thrives in full sun with average, well-drained soil. Very cold hardy and easy to grow. Prune right after flowering to maintain shape. An excellent choice for mixed borders and wildlife plantings — trumpet-shaped blooms are highly attractive to hummingbirds throughout the season.
