There’s nothing else quite like the Vinho Verde® Weigela! After years of positive feedback from trial garden visitors during its evaluation, Proven Winners® is pleased to offer this unique selection, characterized by lime green leaves set off with a bold, black margin. Like all variegated plants, it will occasionally revert, but it reverts to all black, so will not overgrow the plant. A light crop of red-pink flowers appears in late spring, but the foliage - coupled with an irresistibly neat habit - is the primary reason to grow this beauty!
- 3-5 feet tall and wide at maturity
- Hardy in zones 5-8, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
- Plant in full sun (6+ hours daily)
- Space plants 3-5 feet apart for best results
- Maintains green foliage with black edges spring through frost
- Produces reddish pink flowers late spring through early summer
