Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The best pink Weigela? Many people think so! Large bright pink flowers cover this compact 3-5'. plant. Extremely long bloom period: June to September. Read that again -- BLOOMS ALL SUMMER!! A very hardy and desirable Weigela. The only thing that could possibly be wrong with it is that you don't want pink or you need something shorter! That's about it! Oh, and see above -- they're apparently Kitten Proof!
