Midnight Wine® Weigela This Weigela is beloved for its consistently dark leaves, mounding habit, and low maintenance!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Weigela shrubs are easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun, Midnight Wine® needs full sun for the best flowering and foliage color but will tolerate very light shade. However, you'll enjoy much better coloration and more blooms in 6 plus hours of direct sunlight a day! Doing best in average garden soils, Weigela enjoys moderate moisture levels. Weigela does need well-drained soils but is not particular on the soil type. Prune to shape immediately after flowering. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture in the ground as well as insulates the root system from heat and chill.
Weigela won't need much pruning, or deadheading in order to rebloom. However, if you wish to give them some pruning, just be sure to do it right after that first spring flush of color. Weigela does benefit from a renewal pruning every few years, with the oldest stems removed that are not as productive to keep the shrub dense, loaded in blooms and lushly covered in foliage.
