WINE & SPIRITS®
Care information
It gets the best foliage color and highest bloom count in full sun.
Adaptable to most soils, except those that stay wet.
Average water needs
Nothing special required. If desired, you may apply a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants in late winter/early spring when the soil is workable.
Rejuvenation pruning every 3 to 5 years is recommended – this is the process of removing 1/3 of the thickest branches all the way to the ground. Has an irregular habit that looks best when left unpruned.
Makes a great cut flower or foliage filler for arrangements.
TAP TO FIND A RETAILER
An update on our classic Wine & Roses weigela, this vigorous, handsome variety combines even more dramatic dark foliage with crisp white-green flowers. A real showstopper in the garden center and landscape.
Dramatic dark foliage
Dark and light unite perfectly in Wine & Spirits® weigela. The creamy white flowers are perfectly set against the matte, dark purple foliage. Easily a new favorite. It’s a vigorous grower, quickly filling in the middle of the border or a mid-height hedge. It’s easy to pair with other elegant, purple foliage flowering shrubs and perennials.
