Planting & Care

How to Grow & Care for Maroon Swoon® Weigela

Sunlight Requirements

Maroon Swoon® Weigela thrives in full sun, meaning it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. More sun results in more flowers and richer foliage color, so place it in a bright location for the best performance.

Soil & Watering Needs

This weigela prefers well-drained soil but is adaptable to various soil types. Water regularly during its first year to establish strong roots, then it becomes quite drought-tolerant. Once established, it requires minimal watering except in extreme heat or dry conditions.

Pruning & Maintenance

Maroon Swoon® requires little pruning to maintain its shape. If pruning is needed, do so right after its first bloom in late spring, as this shrub flowers on old wood. Light shaping can help encourage additional blooms later in the season.

Winter Hardiness

Hardy in USDA zones 4–8, Maroon Swoon® can withstand cold winters and hot summers. If you live in a colder climate, a layer of mulch around the base can help protect the roots during extreme temperature drops.

Maroon Swoon® Weigela – A Bold and Beautiful Color Show for Your Garden

If you’re looking for a shrub that delivers intense color and long-lasting blooms, Maroon Swoon® Weigela is the perfect choice. This stunning deciduous shrub offers rich, deep red trumpet-shaped flowers that contrast beautifully against its dark green, burgundy-tinged foliage. It’s an excellent option for adding color to borders, foundation plantings, and mixed garden beds.

Maroon Swoon® Weigela isn’t just about good looks—it’s also a strong, reliable performer in a wide range of growing conditions. With its compact size and easy-care nature, it’s a fantastic choice for both experienced gardeners and beginners. Plus, pollinators love it! The nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, making it a lively and beneficial addition to your landscape.

Why You’ll Love Maroon Swoon® Weigela

  • Vibrant, Deep Red Flowers – Unlike many other weigela varieties, Maroon Swoon® produces extra-saturated, ruby-red blooms that stand out in any garden.
  • Long Blooming Season – Enjoy waves of flowers in late spring, with occasional reblooms throughout summer.
  • Attracts Hummingbirds and Pollinators – The trumpet-shaped flowers are a favorite of hummingbirds and beneficial insects.
  • Compact & Versatile Growth Habit – Reaching a manageable height of 3–5 feet tall and wide, this weigela fits into many garden settings.
  • Low Maintenance & Hardy – Thrives in full sun, resists deer browsing, and requires minimal care.

Maroon Swoon® Weigela’s Standout Features

1. Bold, Deep Red Flowers That Last

One of the most striking features of Maroon Swoon® Weigela is its incredibly rich flower color. Many weigelas produce pink, light red, or fuchsia-colored blooms, but Maroon Swoon® takes things to the next level with its deep crimson-red flowers. These blooms hold their color well, resisting fading even in the hot summer sun.

2. Perfect Size for Small Gardens & Landscapes

Unlike some larger weigela varieties, Maroon Swoon® maintains a more compact form. It reaches around 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, making it an excellent choice for smaller garden spaces, container plantings, or foundation beds. You’ll get all the color and impact without the need for constant pruning or maintenance.

3. Foliage That Adds Interest All Season

While many flowering shrubs lose their visual appeal when not in bloom, Maroon Swoon® remains a standout with its dark green leaves that develop rich burgundy tones. This deep foliage color provides a striking contrast to the bright red flowers and extends the visual appeal of the plant beyond the blooming season.

4. Reblooms for Extended Color

While many weigela varieties flower just once in the spring, Maroon Swoon® offers repeat blooming. After its first major flush of flowers in late spring, you’ll often see additional blooms appear sporadically throughout the summer. This makes it a longer-lasting color source compared to traditional weigela varieties.

5. Loved by Pollinators, But Not by Deer

If you enjoy watching hummingbirds dart through your garden, Maroon Swoon® is a must-have. The trumpet-shaped flowers are a favorite of hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators. Plus, its foliage is not a preferred snack for deer, meaning you can enjoy its beauty without constant worry about damage.

Where to Use Maroon Swoon® Weigela in Your Landscape

  • Foundation Plantings – Adds a pop of color near your home’s exterior without overwhelming the space.
  • Mixed Borders – Works beautifully with perennials, ornamental grasses, and other flowering shrubs.
  • Low Hedges – Can be planted in a row to create a colorful, informal hedge.
  • Pollinator Gardens – A magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies, enhancing your wildlife-friendly garden.
  • Container Planting – Perfect for large containers on patios, decks, or balconies.

Why Maroon Swoon® Weigela Is a Must-Have Shrub

With its vibrant, long-lasting red blooms, attractive foliage, and low-maintenance nature, Maroon Swoon® Weigela is a standout in any landscape. It’s compact enough for small gardens but bold enough to make a big impact. Whether you want to attract pollinators, add a splash of color, or enjoy a reliable, easy-care shrub, this weigela is an excellent choice.
