Weigela 'French Lace'

Let me tell you, we have French Lace, My Monet, Midnight Wine, Wine n' Roses, and just put in the Variegated. The French Lace is literall...Read Morey FULL of blooms each year, jam-packed with beautiful dark pink flowers. The other Weigelas can never compete with this one as they have no where near as many flowers. Not only that, but after all of the Weigelas bloom, the French Lace lasts longer, and later in the summer, it blooms again!!! None of the others bloom more than once like this one does. The French Lace grows like crazy too. We've had it for around 3 years, and it is already over 4 ft tall. I need to keep it trimmed each year as well so it doesn't crowd out the smaller My Monet that is right next to it. If I had a choice to take a Weigela with me, the French Lace would be it!

My very favorite weigela, strong, hardy and really beautiful. My 2 y.o. plant survived winter and put on nice flower show even being very...Read More compact. I'd love it to grow bigger because the foliage looks like colorful tapestry against the green lawn.

This young shrub planted in a very exposed spot came through this brutal winter like a champ!

Wintered over well in z6a, but it was a mild winter.
