My MonetTM Weigela Garden Uses and Care:
My MonetTM Weigela is the first true dwarf Weigela. It was discovered as a sport of Weigela 'Tango'. The garden design uses for this true dwarf Weigela are almost endless: Try it in a mixed perennial and shrub border, but at the front of the bed where you would normally use perennials! Perfect in patio containers in sun or shade. The variegation will have more pink in the sun, but in hot climates the plant will do better with afternoon shade. One of our landscape clients had us use it in a long border where she normally planted Coleus every year: My MonetTM Weigela gives a more uniform and unusual effect than Coleous and comes back every year! My MonetTM Weigela requires even, moist conditions in good, loamy garden soil to perform at its best. Under stress it is not unusual for My MonetTM Weigela to go into early dormancy, but don't worry: It will only come back stronger the following season. Early dormancy actually enhances the shrub's hardiness, as it doesn't suffer through early fall frosts. The best time to prune My Monet is immediately after the spring flush of blooms.
