OnlinePlantCenter Midnight Wine Weigela Shrub W141912

Plant Patent #12,217. Cultivar: 'Elvera'. Finally, a dwarf Weigela with the dark foliage, bright blooms, and exciting color changes of the finest tall varieties! Midnight Wine is an ever-changing feast for lovers of purple and pink tones -- as well as birdwatchers, who will enjoy the hummingbirds' infatuation with this sun-loving plant! The pink blooms just sparkle in the early-summer sun, contrasting nicely with the dark foliage. 1 to 1-1/2 in. long, they arise very profusely, making this little shrub into a showpiece! Just 18 to 24 in. high and wide, this dwarf shrub is content in any sunny to lightly shaded spot, including planters and tubs. Simply provide it with well-drained soil and adequate water, and Midnight Wine works its magic! This is a shrub you can place in a formal planting or a happily chaotic flower bed -- wherever it is, it will glow!
