Weigela 'Vino Verde®'

Weigela 'Vino Verde®'

Weigela florida 'SMNWFBGV'

Vino Verde® is a unique variety of weigela that is primarily grown for its beautifully variegated green leaves with bold, dark margins. Like other variegated plants, it is prone to reverting, but the leaves will revert to almost black, rather than green. It does produce a light crop of reddish-pink flowers in late spring/early summer, but the handsome foliage steals the show every time. 

Weigela grow best in full sun with average, well-drained soils. They are highly drought-tolerant once established. 

Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through September, depending on suppliers availability.

Care

Full sun outdoors (6-8+ hours of direct sun)

Water every 2-4 days for the first year until established (based on outdoor temperature & plant's water consumption).

Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.

Weigela should be pruned regularly as older branches tend to produces less flowers as they age. Removing these every few years can help promote new, fresh growth and lots of flowers.

Every 3-5 years, remove 1/4 of the oldest, largest stems as close to the ground as possible. Prioritize branches that are rubbing against each other, as these will eventually create wounds in the bark. Afterwards, thin the canopy of any dead, damaged, diseased branches, or any that are crossing or rubbing, or growing towards the center of the plant. This helps create airflow and allows more light into the center of the plant.
