Watering
My Monet Weigela has average watering requirements. It prefers well-drained soil and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid overwatering or allowing the soil to dry out completely.
Fertilizing
My Monet Weigela requires a balanced fertilizer with a ratio of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) of 10-10-10 or 14-14-14. It is recommended to apply the fertilizer in early spring before new growth appears and then again in early summer.
My Monet Weigela, known also as Weigela Florida Verweig, is a deciduous shrub, a popular cultivar of Weigela Florida. It has a compact, rounded habit, but My Monet Weigela is mostly noteworthy for the poetic beauty it's variegated foliage and pink blooms bring.
It was the first dwarf-variegated Weigela to be introduced and has only grown in popularity since then. Alongside its beautiful pink flowers and colorful foliage, it's because of how versatile and easy maintenance My Monet Weigela is.
Weigela Florida Verweig is adaptable to many soil types as long as it's planted in well-drained soil. As for light exposure requirements, it thrives both in the full sun and part sun.
However, My Monet Weigela has a trick up its sleeves: the color of its variegation changes depending on light exposure - white variegated foliage when planted in semi-shady areas and pink variegation in full sun. So you also can choose based on what you want to see better. If you want pink variegation to match the flowers, then you better choose a location with the full sun.
Pruning for My Monet Weigela is rarely needed and only to clear up winter damage. And has season-long color. It is also deer resistant.
My Monet Weigela prepares for winter by shutting down and going into dormancy (earlier than most Weigela, during the early fall). The browning leaves accompany that process. But don't worry about it, allowing the plant shut down earlier is good for its health.
My Monet Weigela has a mature size of 1.5-2 feet wide and 1-1.5 feet tall and has a slow growth rate. It's most suitable for hardiness zone range 4-6.
This dwarf masterpiece will catch the love and admiration of everyone at first sight. With its pink flowers and green and white foliage color, it's difficult to imagine a better accent piece for your landscape than My Monet Weigela. Order yours today from Shrubhub to start enjoying this beauty.

Pollination Info
Pollination Information for My Monet Weigela
My Monet Weigela (Weigela florida 'Verweig') is a self-fertile plant, meaning it has the ability to produce seeds through self-pollination. However, cross-pollination may increase the genetic diversity of the plant and result in more vigorous growth and larger flowers.
The flowers of My Monet Weigela are pollinated by bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The showy, trumpet-shaped flowers are rich in nectar and attract these pollinators, who transfer pollen from one flower to another.
To encourage cross-pollination, consider planting other flowering plants nearby that bloom at the same time as My Monet Weigela. Some good options include butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), and purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea).
Regular pruning of My Monet Weigela can also promote better pollination. Prune the plant immediately after flowering to encourage more vigorous growth and more flowers in the following season.
