Midnight Sun® weigela forms a neat and tidy bun-shaped weigela with glossy, blazing orange and red summer-autumn foliage. Perfect for the front of the border, this compact, dwarf weigela's form and colorful foliage offers dramatic contrast and a profusion of late spring blooms in mixed borders. 

Soil

Adapts to any well-drained site.

Pruning

Blooms on old wood - prune as needed after flowering, though this very compact, dwarf variety will rarely require it. Remove oldest stems every 3-5 years to encourage vigorous juvenile growth.

Uses

Shrub borders; mixed borders; edging; groundcover; containers.

Growing Tips

Late to leaf out in spring. May require a bit of pruning to clean up winter damage - wait until new growth appears to do so.
