Minor Black Weigela

Like a little black dress for your garden! The Minor Black Weigela (Weigela florida 'Verweig 3') is about to take over your beds and borders with unmatched style! Beautifully rich and dark, this low-growing Weigela has foliage that vividly contrasts your green and gold-leafed plants and unites your purple and maroon-leaved shrubs.

Minor Black keeps its rich color all summer long and even busts out in lovely rose-pink, trumpet-shaped blooms that hummingbirds and butterflies can't resist. This is a perfect shrub for foundation plantings, the front of your borders and beds and anywhere that you want hot new texture and color.

In the spring, the leaves emerge almost black and then turn deep maroon as the summer wears on and the heat turns up. By mid-summer, olive-green streaks may tattoo the leaves but the foundational black sheen is always present.

Planting and Application:

Minor Black Weigela isn't aggressive but plays well with other groundcovers and perennials. It covers the feet of taller, lankier shrubs with great style. Ideal border and edging plants, these only reach a mature height and width of 1-2 feet! Line a pathway or walkway with these easy-going beauties, or use them to skirt mailboxes, flagpoles or birdbaths! Fantastic small-scale shrubs for a row in front of a row of evergreens or your home's foundation planting!

The tubular blooms are just the right size and shape for pollinators and they combine rosy and pinkish tones that maximize their showiness against the dark leaves. This is the perfect shrub to locate under your hummingbird feeder! Add to upscale cottage and pollinator gardens or even use these tiny shrubs in patio planters, front porch pots and as an addition to your container gardening on rooftops and balconies! They fit nearly anywhere!
