A new variety that takes the best of wine and Roses Weigela—and, if possible, makes it even better—Wine and Spirits Weigela adds fine drama to any garden. Landscape designers often talk about mixing colors and textures for dramatic effect. With this weigela, you can achieve that effect with a single shrub! It features deep, wine-colored foliage fronted by bright whitish-green flowers in late spring to early summer.
Growing to nearly 5 feet tall and wide, Wine and Spirits can be shaped into a shrub-like appearance or a more sprawling and natural spread. This show stopping shrub can serve as the focal point of a garden bed or as a medium-height border if planted in a group. Aside from its striking color contrast, the shrub’s foliage is fragrant but not attractive to hungry deer. It should thrive in zones 4 through 8, losing leaves in late fall and greening up in spring.
Wine and Spirits Weigela Care
Give your weigela plenty of room to grow and stand out. Be sure to plant it in a spot that receives at least 6 hours of sun each day during its growing season. It can grow in average to partly acidic soil, as long as the soil drains well. For best health, cover the ground below the plant with a few inches of organic mulch.
Your weigela needs consistent watering, a little more in the first year or during peak heat and drought. After it’s established, it will seldom need irrigation. Add a balanced slow-release fertilizer to the base of the plant each spring to encourage growth and blooms. Prune out dead
Wine and Spirits Weigela Spacing
Give Wine and Spirits plenty of room to spread and for air flow, which should be about 2.5 to 3 feet on all sides. To achieve a border effect, place the plant a little closer together.
