Description
A spectacular flowering shrub that wows with its multicolor foliage and unique flower color, My Monet Purple Effect Weigela forms a diminutive rounded mound 24 to 30 inches tall and wide, clothed in variegated leaves of creamy white, green, and purple tones. This makes it an excellent choice for planting in smaller spaces and containers. In late spring to early summer, profuse clusters of pinkish-purple, trumpet-shaped flowers make a lovely contrast with the foliage, and butterflies and hummingbirds will appreciate them. Easy to grow, it thrives in full sun or partial shade, but achieves its best foliage color with at least five hours of sunlight daily. Sure to be an eye-catching conversation piece in the garden.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a rounded mound 24 to 30 inches tall and wide, the My Monet Purple Effect Weigela is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces or containers, or in groupings, or as a natural hedge, in landscape and flowering shrub borders. It's a fine addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, cottage gardens, perennial gardens, and purple theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 18 inches apart for solid hedge; 42 or more inches apart for space between plants.
Growing Preferences
My Monmet Purple Effect Weigela is easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil with average fertility and full sun or partial shade. The best foliage color typically comes with five or more hours of sunlight daily, regardless of the location. Established plants have good drought tolerance. The flowers open on old wood from the previous year, so avoid pruning in fall or winter. If desired, prune shortly after the spring bloom. Hardy in USDA Zones 4-6.
