Plant Patent Applied For. Cultivar name: 'Carlton.'This exciting new Weigela has so many merits that all you need do is select your favorite! Reversing the normal pattern of color changes, its foliage begins green in spring and then lightens to creamy yellow by summer, remaining that way for months. The dark red blooms open from buds so dark they look black -- and they may rebloom in summer if cut back promptly. And all of this is found on an easy-to-grow shrub that deer leave alone but hummingbirds adore!
