Weigela My Monet Sunset
My Monet Sunset Weigela
My Monet Sunset weigela (Weigela florida) forms a small mound of green, yellow, and orange-toned variegated foliage. Red autumn color extends its value after the main summer display.
This slow-growing selection is primarily a foliage plant; soft pink flowers may appear occasionally. Its compact size suits the front of a border or repeated groups where changing leaf color is easy to see.
Choose sun or partial shade with well-drained soil and moderate moisture. Give young plants time to establish. Remove plain-green reversions and prune lightly after spring flowering only when necessary.
