Description
Weigela florida ‘Verweig8’ (My Monet Purple Effect® Weigela) is a compact, deciduous flowering shrub celebrated for its intensified foliage color and refined, dwarf habit. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this shrub typically grows 12–18 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide, forming a dense, rounded, mounded shape with fine-textured branching. It is especially well suited for borders, edging, foundations, containers, and small residential landscapes where bold foliage color is desired in a limited space.
In mid to late spring, My Monet Purple Effect® Weigela produces soft pink, trumpet-shaped flowers that appear along the stems, gently contrasting with the darker foliage. Leaves are narrow and variegated, emerging green with creamy white margins flushed with pink in spring. As the season progresses, foliage deepens dramatically into rich purple, plum, and wine-red tones through summer and fall, offering stronger and darker coloration than the original My Monet® variety. This extended foliage interest provides consistent ornamental appeal even when the plant is not in bloom.
Ideal for modern landscapes, mixed borders, and container plantings, My Monet Purple Effect® Weigela delivers season-long color, compact form, and low-maintenance performance.
