Growing Tips for Weigela florida 'Very Fine Wine®'

Adapts to any well-drained site.

Blooms on old wood - prune as needed after flowering. Remove oldest stems every 3-5 years to encourage vigorous juvenile growth.

Shrub borders; mixed borders; hedges; specimen; foundation plantings.

Late to leaf out in spring. May require a bit of pruning to clean up winter damage - wait until new growth appears to do so.
