My Monet Weigela
Weigela florida ‘Verweig’ · a dwarf variegated weigela
A dwarf weigela grown for leaves splashed green, cream and pink like an impressionist painting, with soft pink flowers in late spring and scattered repeats through summer, perfect for edging, the front of a border or pots. It takes clay. Give it full sun for the best colour, and trim it right after flowering.
