Crimson Kisses® Weigela

Why Crimson Kisses® Stands Out

• Brilliant deep crimson-red blooms from late spring through summer—then reblooms for a second flush
• A compact 3–4' habit fits borders, foundations, containers, and small gardens perfectly
• Deer resistant, pollinator magnet—draws hummingbirds and bees all season
• Pet safe and cold/heat tolerant—thrives in Zones 5–9 with minimal fuss
• Glossy dark green foliage provides a rich backdrop that makes the red blooms pop
• Drought tolerant once established; fast growth rate fills in quickly

What This Shrub Does For Your Garden

Crimson Kisses® delivers the bold red color most flowering shrubs promise but rarely deliver—and it keeps coming back. The deep crimson blooms arrive in late spring, and a light trim after the first flush triggers a second wave of color that carries you through summer. At 3–4 feet tall and wide, it’s the right size for almost any spot: front-of-border, foundation planting, mixed hedge, or a standalone specimen in a container on the patio.

It’s also one of the most worry-free shrubs you can plant. Deer leave it alone. Bees and hummingbirds love it. Dogs and cats are safe around it. Plant it in full sun, water occasionally, and give it a light prune after flowering — that’s the entire care routine.
