No need to wait for this Very Fine Wine to start glamming up your garden. This weigela offers a dramatic spring combination of cheerful pink trumpets backed by nearly black plum-tinted foliage which goes on to offer a bass note of contrast to your garden’s summer and fall players. Extremely easy on the gardener, this adaptable shrub is low maintenance and resistant to deer, yet attractive to hummingbirds.
VFW is a Weigela florida hybrid that boasts extra cold hardiness, from zones 4 through 8, and is less prone to dying back at the tips of the branches, that the pros call that “tip dieback,” than some of its relatives. It’s a compact mounded grower typically spreading to about 30 inches tall and wide, so it can fit in any sunny spot needing a powerhouse of color and bloom. Seasonal containers, landscape, edging, shrub borders, you name it – they’re all great options. In a vase, the dusky foliage makes all your other flowers look even better.
Very Fine Wine Weigela Care
VFW asks for well-drained soil, other than that, it asks “What works for you?” It doesn’t need especially fertile or specific soil conditions. For lighting, it prefers full sun. Seasonal container plants would be best moved to an in-ground location in fall, or mulched heavily.
Any pruning for shaping can be done right after spring flowers. Fertilize in early spring before bloom with a slow-release fertilizer for trees and shrubs according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Very Fine Wine Weigela Spacing
An ideal spacing for Very Fine Wine would be from 24 to 30 inches wide, in the ground or in a large container as a focal point.
