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 (Weigela florida 'Verweig')
The My Monet Weigela is a flowering shrub that produces clusters of pink, trumpet-shaped flowers. It is a popular choice among gardeners for its compact size and easy maintenance. To ensure that your Weigela produces the best blooms, it is important to understand its pollination requirements.
Pollination Method
The My Monet Weigela is a self-pollinating plant, meaning that it can produce fruit and seeds without the need for pollinators. However, like most flowering plants, it can greatly benefit from cross-pollination, which occurs when pollen from one plant is transferred to the stigma of another plant of the same species.
Pollinators
The My Monet Weigela is pollinated by bees, butterflies, and other insects that are attracted to its sweet nectar and brightly colored flowers. It is important to provide a habitat for these pollinators in your garden to ensure that they are present to help pollinate your Weigela. This can be done by planting a variety of flowering plants that bloom at different times throughout the season, providing nesting sites and shelter, and avoiding the use of pesticides.
Cross-pollination
If you want to ensure that your My Monet Weigela produces the best blooms, consider planting it near other Weigela plants or other flowering shrubs that bloom at the same time. This will increase the likelihood of cross-pollination and result in more fruit and seeds. Alternatively, you can manually transfer pollen from one flower to another using a small brush or cotton swab.
Conclusion
The My Monet Weigela is a self-pollinating plant, but like most flowering plants, it can greatly benefit from cross-pollination. By providing a habitat for pollinators and planting it near other flowering shrubs, you can ensure that your Weigela produces the best blooms possible.
