Electric Love’ Weigela is aptly named for its electrifying aesthetic. It boasts a unique play of colour: the deep green, almost bronze-tinted leaves set the stage for the star of the show -the vibrant red blooms. This visual spectacle isn’t just a treat for the eyes; pollinators, too, find it irresistibly appealing, making this plant a natural magnet for beneficial insects.
With a compact growth pattern, reaching a neat height of about 60cm and spreading to 1m wide, ‘Electric Love’ is an excellent choice for both small and expansive landscapes. Whether as a standalone feature or part of a mixed border, its distinct hue of red blossoms against the rich foliage ensures it stands out in any garden setting.
Key Features:
Bloom: Vivid red blossoms, ideal for attracting pollinators.
Foliage: Deep green, bordering on bronze, providing a stark contrast to the blooms.
Soil Preference: Adaptable to most well-drained soils.
Care Recommendations: Water consistently, especially during dry spells. A gentle pruning post-flowering can encourage a bushier growth and more blooms in subsequent seasons. Plant in a location where the unique colour contrast can be most appreciated.
