I would love to have Wine and Roses Weigela. I have grown Asclepias incarnata 'Soulmate' very nice plant, loved the blooms, so did the monarch caterpillars as it is a host plant. The others I am not too familiar with.

Kalmia never grow for me, they just do not transplant well; however, they grow everywhere in NJ and PA in the wild!

Weigela 'wine and roses' is fabulous, I'd move that to the top of your list!

Thanks John -- I am definitely going to go with the Weigela 'Wine and Roses' and also the dwarf version of that called 'Midnight Wine'. Also thinking of getting the varigated 'French lace' too.
