Red Prince Weigela
Weigela florida ‘Red Prince’
Developed at Iowa State University. The most important characteristic of this plant is its ability to hold its flower color (red) as they age rather than taking on a purplish tint which often happens with other varieties. Hardier than W. ‘Vaniceki’. Tendency for a secondary bloom in late summer, particularly if spring bloom was sparse.
