Spilled Wine Weigela

Spilled Wine Weigela is a compact deciduous flowering shrub with dark purple foliage, bright pink spring blooms, and a low spreading habit. Its rich color and manageable size make it excellent for foundation plantings, mixed borders, walkway edging, and mass plantings.

Why choose Spilled Wine Weigela?

Choose Spilled Wine Weigela for dramatic foliage color in a shrub that stays easy to place. Its black-purple leaves create strong contrast even after the spring bloom show has finished, while the pink tubular flowers add bright seasonal appeal. The plant grows wider than tall, making it especially useful under windows, along paths, in front of taller shrubs, or repeated through sunny beds for a colorful, cohesive landscape design.

Growth Habit: Compact, spreading, wider-than-tall shrub

Spilled Wine Weigela Additional Information

Spilled Wine Weigela typically grows about 2–3 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide, forming a low, spreading mound that brings strong color to smaller landscape spaces. In spring, bright pink flowers appear along the stems, creating a vivid display against exceptionally dark purple foliage. The leaves remain a key ornamental feature through the growing season, helping the shrub provide color and texture even when not in bloom.

This weigela is deciduous, so it drops its leaves in winter and returns with fresh growth in spring. It blooms on old wood, so pruning is best done right after flowering if shaping is needed. Little routine pruning is usually required because of its naturally compact habit. Use Spilled Wine Weigela in mixed borders, mass plantings, foundation beds, along walkways, or as a colorful low accent in sunny garden designs.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Spilled Wine Weigela in full sun for the richest foliage color and strongest flowering. Choose well-drained garden soil, set the root ball level with the surrounding soil, backfill firmly, and water thoroughly after planting.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help the shrub establish. Once rooted, provide deep watering during dry stretches, especially in hot sunny beds or newly installed landscapes.

3. Fertilizing: Feed in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. Follow label directions and apply around the root zone before new growth becomes active.

4. Pruning: Prune only as needed immediately after spring flowering. Light shaping can maintain its low spreading form while preserving the old wood that supports next season’s blooms.
