Weigela hortensis
is a small tree with gray-brown bark, found in sunny, mountainous
regions. It branches well from its lower parts, becoming bushy, and
grows to approximately 5 meters in height. Leaves are in opposite
phyllotaxis; blades are 4- 10 cm long, 2- 6 cm wide, in an
oval-oblong shape, with sharp tips, bases circular to broadly
cuneate, and delicate serrations on margins, and with petioles of 3-
10 mm in length. Branch tips or axils on the upper parts produce 2-3
pink-red to red flowers; the corollas measure 2.5- 3.5 cm long, are
funnel-shaped, and have cleft ends. Ovaries, 5- 10 mm long,
positioned beneath calyxes, are slender and cylindrical; thus, they
look like peduncles. Bloom time: May-June. |
