This Weigela is just over 3 ft tall, Olive, and probably needs cutting back! We've had it for ten years, so I don't think it is going to get any bigger.

That's so pretty! What type is it, Sheila? I've just treated myself to W. monet, and it's pale and pinky variegated, and I don't know what the flowers are like yet, but I don't think it's the same as this.

Thanks Gattina, but I'm afraid I don't know the variety. I'd thought it was W. Florida, which Oliveoil has, but she thinks probably not. These leaves are quite 'bronzy', not variegated, but I've no idea how to find out!

Not had any luck then Sheila in identifying it, definitely not W.Florida Alexandra, had another good look today, mine is very dark red, burgundy coloured. But I suppose it could be W. Florida just a different variety or name.

Could it possibly be W. "tango"? It's supposed to be a smaller variety growing to about a metre tall.

Oooh, you could be right Gattina. I've just Googled W. 'tango' and it does look the same; also ours is 3ft and has been for years, so maybe that clinches it . . . thank you!!

NICE! I have moved my one and only rhodo into the same bed as my weigela...they seem happy together. Mine has leaves which are red underneath and the flowers are wine-pink...very deep and dramatic. love weigelas! If it wasn't raining pitchforks and saw logs..I'd go get a pic. Maybe it will stop soon...then I'll share! ;-)

the size is about right, the leaf colour is bronze as is mine, but think this looks a little pinker than the one I have, not sure Sheila.
