Weigela Victoria 3 Litre Pot

Weigela florida ‘Victoria’ – Dark-Leaved Weigela with Vibrant Pink Flowers

Weigela ‘Victoria’ is a striking deciduous shrub, combining dramatic purple-bronze foliage with an abundance of deep rosy-pink trumpet-shaped flowers. This beautiful contrast of dark leaves and vibrant blooms makes it one of the most eye-catching weigelas for garden borders and feature planting.

From late spring into early summer, the arching branches become covered in clusters of colourful flowers that attract bees and other pollinating insects. The blooms stand out brilliantly against the dark foliage, creating a display that can often be repeated later in the season.

The rich purple-bronze leaves provide ornamental interest long after the flowers have faded, ensuring the shrub remains attractive throughout the growing season. Its naturally rounded, arching habit gives it a graceful appearance that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary gardens.

Thriving in full sun or partial shade, ‘Victoria’ develops its deepest foliage colour and best flowering performance when planted in a sunny position. It is adaptable to most well-drained soils and requires very little maintenance once established.

Perfect for mixed borders, wildlife gardens, and feature planting, this reliable shrub provides colour, structure, and seasonal interest from spring through autumn.

Bold, floriferous, and easy to grow, Weigela ‘Victoria’ is an excellent choice for adding rich foliage colour and vibrant flowers to the garden.
