    Fine shade-brightening, yellow-green/yellow-variegated leaves add a new color to the range of this ever people-popular 5-7' shrub and its carmine-red flowers certainly won?t decrease its popularity with the hummer crowd. S-PSh/M

    Another Andre Briant introduction, this was found as a branch sport of 'Bristol Ruby' with the same red flowers but with bright neon yellow foliage.

    Medium size shrub with upright, arching branches. Holds its red flower color longer than most other Weigela's. Blooms in spring and occasionally in fall. Good background plant. Yellow foliage with rose red blooms. Stunning!
