Details
Weigela ‘Electric Love’ boasts electric red flowers against a backdrop of deep green, almost bronze-tinted foliage for a rich contrast. The first true-red, dark-leaved Weigela, remains reliably compact, with a low, mounding habit that suits both containers and borders. It bears a profusion of bell-shaped flowers from late spring to early summer that are loved by pollinators. 'Electric Love' is an excellent choice for both small and expansive landscapes.
Please note that deciduous plants naturally lose their leaves during the colder months. If you wish to check the health of your plant, you can scrape a small piece of bark off from the lower part of the main stem. Under the brown layers there should be healthy green growth.

Plant Care
Please remember that you're not buying 9cm tall plants. 9cm refers to the diameter of the pot commonly used in plant retail.
The size of the plant can vary greatly.
Most will be between 10-30cm tall unless they are naturally low growing plants or if you are buying herbaceous plants in winter.
In order to lessen our environmental impact, all of our plants will be removed from their plastic cell trays or pots before sending. Ensure you are ready to pot your plants when they arrive.
