Vinho Verde weigela (Weigela florida 'Vinho Verde') gives you strong contrast for borders and foundations, with lime-green leaves outlined in deep purple-black and a flush of pink blooms in late spring. The foliage stays showy from spring through fall, so the plant looks finished even when it is not in flower.

Place it where you can enjoy the color up close: along a walk, at the front or middle of a shrub border, or repeated as a low hedge. It matures about 36-60 inches tall and roughly as wide, creating a rounded shape that works well in both formal and relaxed designs.

For best bloom and the sharpest leaf color, plant it in full sun. It will also handle part shade, especially in warmer areas or where you want a little afternoon protection. Give it average moisture during establishment and grow it in soil that drains well; it adapts to many garden soils as long as it is not consistently wet.

Prune only after the spring bloom if you want to shape it, since timing helps keep flowers coming the following year. Every few years, renew the plant by removing a portion of the oldest stems down to the ground to encourage fresh growth and keep the shrub dense and vigorous. A simple mulch layer helps conserve moisture and protect roots through winter.
