'Vinho Verde' weigela (Weigela Florida 'Vinho Verde') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, hedges, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Its arching form grows at a moderate rate to 3 to 5 feet tall. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees visit the flowers.
