Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This variety performs best in full sun, requiring at least six hours of direct light daily. While it can handle partial shade, you will notice the foliage colors are much more vibrant and the bloom count is higher when it receives plenty of sunshine.
  • Soil: Aim for well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. If you have heavy clay, mix in some compost or aged bark to improve drainage, as this plant does not like sitting in soggy "wet feet" which can lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your My Monet Sunset Weigela two to three times a week to help the root system get established in your native soil. Once mature, this shrub is quite drought tolerant, though providing a deep soak during extreme summer heat prevents the leaf edges from scorching. Inconsistent watering often leads to fewer flowers and a thinner canopy, so keeping the soil moisture even is key for a lush look.

Pruning Tips

Since Weigelas bloom on "old wood" formed during the previous year, you should prune immediately after the first flush of spring flowers has faded. Use a light hand to shape the plant or remove dead tips, which encourages the shrub to put energy into new growth for next year's display. Think of it like a post bloom haircut that keeps the dwarf habit tidy and prevents the center from becoming too woody or bare.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as new green growth begins to appear. Avoid using fertilizers with very high nitrogen levels late in the summer, because this stimulates soft new growth that won't have time to harden off before the first frost. This late season growth is highly susceptible to winter kill, which can damage the overall structure of your shrub.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Weigela prefers full sun for the best flowering but can tolerate some light afternoon shade, especially for shrubs planted in the hotter of their favored growing zones. It's adaptive to a variety of soil types and even does well in urban settings! Weigela shrubs do best in average garden soils and enjoy moderate moisture levels. 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 after flowering or deadheading to trigger a 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.
