Weigela florida

Weigela florida, the old-fashioned weigela, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae. It is native to Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, northern and south-central China, Primorsky Krai in the Russian Far East, the Korean Peninsula, and Kyushu in Japan, and it has been introduced to Bulgaria, Great Britain, Ireland, the United States, and Uzbekistan. A deciduous shrub reaching 2.5 m (8 ft), it is typically found in scrublands and mixed evergreen/deciduous forests, at elevations from 100 to 1,500 m above sea level. Recommended for screens and hedges, and attractive to hummingbirds, it is cold hardy in USDA zones 4 through 8, and requires full sun.
