Weigela Magical® Sunny Fantasy
Sunny Fantasy: pretty in a vase, perfect in borders
A lovely filler for floral arrangements, Magical Sunny Fantasy adds instant elegance with mint-green leaves edged in creamy white from August through October. Another dual-purpose shrub from Kolster BV (Netherlands), Sunny Fantasy also shines in the landscape. Ideal for foundation plantings and mixed borders—where soft-pink clusters of tubular flowers cover the plant in spring. A low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly choice that attracts hummingbirds as well.
