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