Northern growers have long appreciated the hardiness of Fine Wine, but we’ve always wished it was better. This plant solves our dilemma; it maintains the superior hardiness but comes with darker foliage and better flowering.
Sonic Bloom® Pure Pink weigela is the newest addition to this popular collection of top-performing reblooming weigelas. Like the others, its big, bold, trumpet-like flowers appear in late spring along with conventional weigelas, but the show doesn’t stop. After a brief rest, waves of perfectly pink flowers appear up through frost. The larger Sonic Bloom® weigelas are the perfect choice for a flowering hedge or a backdrop to any landscape or garden. Easy care, long blooming, and deer resistant.
A flower powerhouse in a small, garden-friendly package! Snippet™ weigelas are the best thing to happen to this spring-blooming favorite in years: they rebloom abundantly and naturally grow as a dwarf, rounded mound. They fit perfectly in just about any sunny spot in your landscape to add appealing structure and months of color. Snippet Dark Pink weigela has thick, deep green foliage that perfectly sets off the vivid pink blooms. They appear in late spring along with other weigelas, but then they continue to bloom all through summer with waves of fresh flowers. No deadheading required!
A hardy dwarf selection from the Czech Republic, Snippet Lime® weigela with fresh, lime-green foliage and pure pink blooms. It also reblooms quite nicely and can be cycle-pruned to deliver a flowering crop to retailers all season long.
Shining Sensation™ is a blooming machine, with pink funnel-shaped flowers that bloom in May and June and intermittently through summer. Shiny, burgundy foliage appears as though it has been polished and contrasts nicely with the pink flowers, making this new selection a cut above the rest. Long, arching stems provide a handsome architectural element to the mixed border.
Even before the first flowers appear, Rainbow Sensation® will brighten your garden with its attractive, variegated foliage. Dense clusters of soft pink flowers bloom profusely in May, attracting hummingbirds to the garden. Weigela is especially well suited to urban environments where it performs beautifully with minimal care and will provide an oasis of color alone or planted in groups.
Forget about flower color! This color machine will have you dreaming in color the whole year even without bloom…that’s how striking this selection’s foliage is! Dense, compact and slow growing, this tight little shrub coats itself with foliage in early May that emerges with a wide golden green band surrounding a deeper green center on each leaf. The color is tremendous when it emerges but it becomes more pronounced and the year progresses until it culminates in fall with an infusion of brilliant reddish-pink color that will set the autumn landscape alight! Its great foliage is stable and resistant to the kind of reversion that can take a garden star and turn it into garden drab. My Monet® Sunset will bloom occasionally with pinkish-purple tubular blooms but it is mostly a great, colorful foliage plant that loves full sun or partial shade, especially further south, and is perfect for grouping in the garden or using as a colorful anchor in a container that just keeps on coloring!
Here’s a new sensation that will take the plant world and your customers by storm. In fact, this little gem is the perfect storm of dense, neat plant form, incredible foliage color that excites throughout the growing season, and superb flower color that seems to intensify the foliage color. ‘My Monet’™ is sure to be a favorite for its ability to provide luscious color in the landscape for a long period without hogging precious space with its mounding, dense form. Even better, it’s a plant that is a customer magnet… it’s just so cute and so attractive, it will sell from spring to fall and will be one of your best impulse sales items. This sport of Weigela ‘Tango’ features deep green foliage with creamy white edging that is infused with varying intensities of pink. Deep reddish-pink flowers add to the mix in late May through June but they are hardly necessary with the cacophony of color already present. ‘My Monet’™ is easy to grow, love full sun and makes an outstanding grouping anywhere in the landscape.
My Monet Purple Effect brings new color, more flowers, and better adaptability, while sharing all the charm and beauty of the original My Monet® weigela. Its variegated cream and mint green foliage takes on purple (as opposed to pink) tones, and it is much better able to withstand the rigors of both cold and warmer climates. Though it is slightly larger, it can be used in much the same way: as a delightful companion to perennials, as a colorful edging, in a container, or anywhere you need a spot of clear, clean color.
If you like ‘Wine & Roses™’, you’ll love Weigela ‘Midnight Wine™’. Take a look at its seductive, burgundy-purple foliage and then watch it explode with masses of deep pink flowers in mid-June. Consider its low, dense, spreading form and you’ll see why ‘Midnight Wine™’ not only has the looks of a winner, it has the form that makes it a multi-dimensional landscape dream!
