Maroon Swoon® Weigela | Weigela x 'Slingco 2' USPP26841, CPBR5267
People will stop and stare at Maroon Swoon® because of its beautiful dark red flowers and rich green leaves. Tip: Lightly trim the plant right after the first blooms end to get it to bloom again.
The stunning Maroon Swoon® Weigela is a deciduous shrub that looks great all year, making it a great addition to any yard. This plant does well in a wide range of conditions because it can handle both full sun and partial shade. It is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 8. Maroon Swoon® has dark, rich green leaves that make a thick background. The bright maroon flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer look stunning against them. The trumpet-shaped flowers are a stunning deep pink with red undertones that will add a dramatic splash of color to your garden. This shrub grows to be 4-5 feet tall and 4–5 feet wide. It looks good in flower beds, borders, and as a low hedge because it is compact but strong.
Maroon Swoon® Weigela is great for getting pollinators, and the bright flowers attract bees and hummingbirds, which are good for the plant. This shrub can also stand up to deer, which makes it a good choice for parks in places where wildlife is common. Pets are thought to be safe around it, so you can enjoy its beauty without worry.
Plant Maroon Swoon® where it will grow best: in soil that drains well and gets a lot of sun. During the growth season, water often, but don't water too much to keep the roots from rotting. Cover the base with mulch to keep the soil wet and keep weeds away. Lightly prune the plant after it blooms to keep its shape and help it grow new leaves for the next growing season. Every year in early spring, use a balanced fertilizer to help plants grow well and have beautiful flowers all season.
