Say hello to Red Tweedie Bird™ Weigela—a compact shrub that explodes with bright, fire-engine red blooms in spring. With arching branches smothered in trumpet-shaped flowers, this shrub is a favorite among hummingbirds and butterflies, making it as lively as it is beautiful. Its cheerful cherry-red blossoms contrast brilliantly with clean green foliage, bringing serious color to borders or mass plantings.
This low-mounded deciduous shrub is an ideal choice for small gardens and foundation beds. Despite its elegant form and bold flowers, Red Tweedie Bird™ Weigela is easy to grow and surprisingly tough—tolerating urban pollution, a range of soil types, and deer. It thrives in full sun and rewards you with a brilliant seasonal display every year.
As a selected cultivar of Weigela florida, this shrub asks for little but gives a lot. With minimal pruning (done right after flowering), you'll enjoy years of spring color and structure. Whether you plant it as a hedge, a bold "thriller" as a speciemin, or let it steal the show in your perennial border, Red Tweedie Bird™ Weigela is full of personality and pollinator charm.
