Weigela 'Looymansii Aurea' | Looymans Gold Weigela

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Weigela 'Looymansii Aurea' produces soft pink, funnel-shaped flowers in late spring, appearing along the stems and continuing lightly into early summer. Oval leaves are bright golden-yellow, holding their color through the season and creating a luminous, finely textured canopy. The foliage forms a dense, rounded framework that supports the blooms, which are spaced along the branches and attract hummingbirds during the flowering period.

Originating from garden selections of Asian species, this cultivar reflects breeding focused on foliage color and reliable bloom. It is well suited to borders, foundation plantings, and informal hedging, where its golden foliage and seasonal flowers provide structure and color through the growing season.
