Weigela florida 'Alexandra' (Weigela 'Wine and Roses')
Weigela florida 'Alexandra', also known as Weigela 'Wine and Roses', is a decorative shrub prized for its dark purple leaves and pink, bell-shaped flowers. This cultivar is of medium size, reaching heights of 1-1.5 meters and a similar width.
The colorful leaves provide a beautiful contrast to its deep pink flowers that appear in spring and often again in late summer. The shrub has a rounded growth habit, with arched branches that add a decorative aspect to landscapes.
Weigela 'Alexandra' adapts to a variety of soil types, but prefers well-drained soils and sunny or partially shaded locations. This variety is also resistant to diseases and pests, making it an excellent choice for beginning gardeners or those looking for low-maintenance plants.
Despite its delicate appearance, Weigela 'Alexandra' is surprisingly robust and can withstand temperatures down to -30 degrees Celsius, which makes it suitable for the Romanian climate.
