Another small new shrub in the lower garden now in flower
Comments on this photo
I have this in my front garden by the rock; don't know the cultivar, it was just sold as 'Purple Weigela' in our garden center. It is a smaller variety than the variegated, if yours is the same.

Looks like this one is 'wine & roses' , it will eventually get 5 ft high and wide.
There is a dwarf shrub, called 'midnight wine', that only gets 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. I have one and the leaves are much smaller on this variety, in proportion with the tiny limbs. They are both beautiful.!
