Weigela coraeensis

An unusual medium sized, deciduous shrub native to Japan with long- lasting, white flowers which gradually turn pink then red, giving the illusion of a plant bearing three differently coloured flowers. These eye-catching flowers stand out well against the large, bright green summer leaves.

A spectacular yet often overlooked plant and a beautiful flowering addition to any garden which can be pruned regularly to reduce the size if required.
