 MIDNIGHT WINE®™     Dwarf Weigela
 

A great new dwarf Weigela with dark burgundy foliage.

Midnight Wine changes the way we think about and use shrubs. This beauty can be used as you would use a low mounding perennial or annual, or use it in mass as a ground cover. The uses are endless and the color is nonstop.

Plant it in full sun to partial sun to achieve the best foliage color.

Another great plant from Herman Geers of the Netherlands.

Intense Purple-Black foliage provides season long interest and color!

Small, dwarfing habit makes MIDNIGHT WINE® perfect for use in the front of the border or for edging.  Also great in perennial beds.

The tidy mound of dark purple foliage can be used as an accent plant or a dramatic mass planting.  Consider it instead of crimson pygmy barberry:  MIDNIGHT WINE® doesn’t have any thorns!
