Maroon Swoon® Weigela Shrub Live Potted Plant Flowering Garden

Velvety maroon-red trumpets cover this compact shrub each spring, drawing hummingbirds to a fountain of arching branches.

Maroon Swoon® is a refined deciduous Weigela prized for its deep, saturated red blooms held against rich green foliage. In late spring the rounded, arching habit fills with funnel-shaped flowers that are a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies, then settles into a tidy 4 to 5 foot mound that looks polished all season. Its moderate, well-mannered growth and full-to-part sun adaptability make it an easy anchor for foundation beds, mixed borders, and informal hedges.

Why growers choose the Maroon Swoon® Weigela

• Rich red color. Deep maroon-red, trumpet-shaped blooms bring a saturated, jewel-tone hue that reads beautifully against green and chartreuse companions.
• Hummingbird magnet. The tubular spring flowers are irresistible to hummingbirds and a reliable nectar source for butterflies.
• Compact, tidy habit. A naturally rounded 4 to 5 foot form means less shearing and a clean shape without heavy pruning.
• Cold-hardy and durable. Reliably hardy in zones 4 to 7, it shrugs off cold winters and returns dependably each spring.
• Adaptable in the landscape. Thrives in full to part sun and tolerates a range of garden soils once established.

Use it as a flowering foundation shrub, repeat it for a loose seasonal hedge, weave it into a mixed border for late-spring color, or set it where you can watch the hummingbirds visit from a porch or patio.
