Proven Winners® Color Choice® My Monet® Weigela
My Monet Weigela (Weigela florida ‘Verweig’) is a deciduous shrub with stunning green and white variegated foliage and pink flowers. This tiny mound of dark green-pink leaves is ideal for border plantings or perennial bed edgings and can be used as an accent plant or a dramatic mass planting. Consider using it instead of ‘Crimson Pygmy’ Barberry; My Monet Weigela doesn’t have any thorns!
If planted in ideal conditions, it will delight you with season-long color and impressive raspberry-pink blooms. The bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds will thank you for a rich source of nectar to feast on from year to year. Just give it sun and water and you’ll have intense color from spring to fall.
This dwarf cultivar from Proven Winners should be planted with access to full sun to partial shade. The color of variegation is dependent on the amount of sunlight it receives. For whiter variegation, place it in a semi-shady area; for pink variegation, plant it in an area that receives six or more hours of sunlight each day.
It is adaptable to many soil types but prefers well-drained soil. It is deer resistant and needs little pruning. Weigela adds a splash of color to any annual or perennial bed and is a winner of a Gold Medal from the Boskoop Royal Horticulture Society.
