WEIGELA FLO MINUET
Grower Notes:

Minuet Weigela (Weigela florida 'Minuet') is a charming and durable dwarf shrub, well-regarded for its compact size, colorful foliage, and dependable spring bloom. Its low growing, spreading habit makes it one of the best choices for small spaces, reaching a mature size of just 2-3 feet in height with a spread of 2-3 feet. The foliage is a standout feature, with deep green leaves that have an attractive purplish-red cast, which becomes more intense with more sun. In late spring, 'Minuet' produces a profusion of slightly fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers that are rosy pink with a yellow throat. While the main bloom occurs in the spring, it may also provide a lighter, scattered rebloom in summer.

'Minuet' Weigela is a great option for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, hardy plant. It is an extremely cold-tolerant variety, suitable for USDA Zones 4-8. 'Minuet' is adaptable to a variety of soils, as long as they are well-drained. It requires full sun for the best flower production and foliage color. The compact, mounding form makes it ideal for use as a groundcover, for edging garden beds or walkways, in rock gardens, or as a colorful accent in a container. It is a reliable and easy-to-grow shrub that also attracts hummingbirds and other pollinators, adding both beauty and life to the garden.
