DESCRIPTION
Weigela florida 'Tango' produces funnel-shaped flowers in rich mauve pink tones with a deeper throat, opening in late spring with a lighter repeat bloom in summer. Oval leaves are deep green with a subtle bronze cast, forming a dense, leafy framework that highlights the saturated flower color. The blooms are held along the stems in small clusters, drawing hummingbirds and adding movement through the flowering period.

Originating from a species native to eastern Asia, this cultivar reflects modern breeding focused on compact form and strong floral color. It is well suited to borders, foundation plantings, and containers, where its seasonal bloom and dense foliage provide structure and consistent garden interest.
