Weigela Camouflage are hardy plants for the garden, with masses of summer flowers and unique, variegated foliage. Whilst other varieties of Weigela have been considered less interesting in the past due to the lack of foliage, this variety combines bright, vibrant, ruby red flowers with bushy, variegated foliage in shades of green and deep purple, which can appear almost black. These garden plants are an excellent choice for planting in containers or adding to mixed borders to fill empty space, since they will tolerate most soils and light conditions. The foliage and flowers bloom for a long period, providing interest in the garden for most of the year.
