Notes
'Rumba' weigela (Weigela 'Rumba') is a shrub for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows 30 to 36 inches tall and 48 inches wide at most, so it stays compact. Red flowers with yellow throats open from early to late summer, and a few more may appear in early autumn.
Pairs well with Snowberry, Tall fescue, Forever Susan lily, and Pincushion flower.
