My Monet Sunset Weigela Care
My Monet Sunset can be used in a sunny location in perennial or shrub borders, foundation plantings, containers or along paths or patios. It can be planted in locations where you would consider planting a low growing perennial. My Monet Sunset is a slow grower making it perfect for small gardens and containers. Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs as directed on the package.
This shrub will grow to be 12 to 18 inches in height and width in a mounded shape in USDA hardiness zones 5 to 8. My Monet Sunset performs best in well-drained soils but is adaptable to other soil types. It does not need pruning but if pruning to shape it is desired, prune after the flowering period ends.
My Monet Sunset Weigela Spacing
