The 'Midnight Sun' Weigela (Weigela florida 'Verweig9') is a compact, deciduous shrub from Proven Winners, primarily grown for its stunning multi-colored foliage rather than its spring flowers. Foliage: The standout feature is its foliage, which emerges green in spring and intensifies into striking shades of glossy orange, red, and burgundy during the summer and autumn, offering continuous color throughout the season. Flowers: It produces delicate clusters of pink, trumpet-shaped flowers in late spring. While attractive to hummingbirds, the flowers are a secondary feature to the dramatic leaf color. Size: A dwarf, mounded shrub, typically maturing to a compact 1–1.5 feet (30-46 cm) tall and wide. Hardiness & Resistance: It is hardy in USDA Zones 4–8 and is both deer and rabbit resistant. Light: For the most vibrant foliage color and best blooming, plant in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily). It can tolerate some partial shade, but the colors may be less intense. Soil: Adaptable to a wide range of soil types, including clay and slightly alkaline soils, provided they are moist and well-drained. It should not be allowed to sit in soggy conditions. Pruning: Minimal pruning is required to maintain its naturally tidy, mounded shape. Pruning should only be done immediately after the spring bloom, as it flowers on "old wood" (last year's growth). Maintenance: It is a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and self-cleaning shrub, meaning no deadheading is needed for continuous interest.
