Midnight Wine Shine Weigela (Weigela florida 'SMNWFMS')

Midnight Wine Shine Weigela delivers dramatic, dark foliage that makes the whole planting feel more intentional, even when flowers are not in peak. Its compact size slips easily into tight beds, front borders, and small-space designs where a full-size shrub would be too much. In spring, dark pink blooms add a bright pop against the nearly black leaves for a high-contrast look that reads from the curb. Plant it where you want low-effort structure with a strong seasonal highlight.

Distinctive Features

This deciduous weigela is grown primarily for its glossy, deep purple to near-black foliage and dense, mounded habit. In spring, it produces dark pink, trumpet-shaped flowers that stand out sharply against the dark leaves, with the potential for lighter repeat bloom later in the season. The plant stays low and wide, creating a clean, modern edge that layers well with perennials and evergreens. It is also a reliable nectar source for hummingbirds and other pollinators when in bloom.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun for best foliage color and flowering, with light shade tolerated.
  • Soil: Average, well-drained soil is ideal, and it tolerates clay if drainage is reasonable.
  • Water: Medium moisture, water regularly during establishment, then water deeply during extended dry periods.
  • USDA Zones: Grows well in zones 4 to 8.
  • Mature Size: Reaches about 1 to 1.5 feet tall and 2 to 2.5 feet wide.
  • Habit: Compact and mounded with dense branching.
  • Foliage: Very dark purple to near-black leaves with a glossy finish through the growing season.
  • Bloom: Dark pink flowers in spring, typically from April to June depending on climate.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use the dark foliage and spring bloom as a focal point near an entry, patio, or front bed where contrast matters most.
  • Border Front: Line the front of mixed borders to create a clean, low band of dark color that makes neighbors look brighter.
  • Mass Planting: Plant in groups to create a unified block of color that reads clearly from a distance.
  • Containers: Grow in a large container to bring strong contrast to decks, steps, and small outdoor spaces.
  • Low Hedge: Use as a low, informal hedge to define bed edges while keeping sightlines open.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Prune right after the main spring bloom to shape the plant and avoid removing next season's flower buds.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist the first growing season, then water when the top few inches of soil feels dry.
  • Mulching: Mulch the root zone to conserve moisture and reduce weeds, keeping mulch a few inches away from stems.
  • Feeding: Apply compost or a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
  • Renewal: Every few years, remove a few older stems near the base after flowering to keep growth vigorous and dense.

Why Choose Midnight Wine Shine Weigela?

  • Dark Foliage: Deep purple-black leaves add season-long contrast that makes the entire planting look more designed.
  • Compact Form: Low, mounded growth fits small beds and tight border lines without constant control.
  • Spring Color: Dark pink blooms create a crisp, high-contrast display against the foliage.
  • Pollinator Appeal: Flowers help attract hummingbirds and other pollinators during bloom.
  • Deer Resistance: Often shows good deer resistance, though browsing can still occur where pressure is high.

Midnight Wine Shine Weigela is a simple way to add strong contrast and polished structure with minimal maintenance. Give it sun, reliable drainage, and a quick post-bloom trim, and it will stay dense and tidy year after year. Pair it with chartreuse foliage, silver perennials, or clean evergreen shapes to make the dark leaves stand out even more.

Immediate Hit With My Power Chewer!
Immediate hit. Like, didn’t even make it fully out of the package before my dog was sniffling around the package, all excited. I have a serious chewer, the kind that treats most toys like a personal challenge. This one has actually held up. It’s firm and tough, but not rock hard like those nylon bones that make me nervous about teeth. There’s a little bit of give to it, which I like. The beef flavor must be legit because he keeps going back to it. This isn’t one of those toys that gets ignored after five minutes. He’s been happily gnawing on it and hasn’t managed to destroy it yet, which honestly says a lot in this house. I also like the shape and texture. It’s easy for him to hold, and the ridges seem to keep him engaged longer. Bonus points if it’s helping his teeth even a little, because chewing is already his favorite hobby. No toy is truly indestructible, but this has definitely earned its place in the “worth buying again” category. If you’ve got a medium to large dog who lives to chew, this one’s a solid win.

Great Chew Toy for Destructive Dogs
I got this toy for our lab/pit mix, who tends to destroy most chew toys. He seems to really enjoy it so far, preferring it over his other toys. I'm not sure if it’s just the novelty of a new toy, or whether he actually likes the "real beef flavor," but either way, he's definitely into it. I’ve noticed some small teeth marks in the rubber, but nothing that concerns me too much at this point. My kids thought it looked pretty gross when I first pulled it out, which always makes me laugh! Overall, I'm very satisfied with the toy’s performance so far. It seems durable and I hope it lasts a long time--based on how things are going, I think it will. It's definitely worth the price.

Unusual looking, but durable and the pup likes it.
From the moment I took the box containing this toy out of its shipping box, my dog went nuts. He was not going to wait and had to have it NOW. Clearly the scent was quite appealing (if you’re a dog). He’s had it for a week now and he continues to enjoy it. This “meat bone” may not look appetizing to us, but my pup chews it regularly. The grooves and ridges seem to be interesting to him, and likely help with his dental health. The bone has held up quite well so far. My dog is an aggressive chewer and this one remains in good shape. Unlike plastic ones that leave a lot of sharp pieces all over - this one stays intact. Recommend.

Really help soothe redness and speed up healing
I've been using these patches for a while now and I'm very happy with them - they're virtually invisible on the skin, stay on well and really help soothe redness and speed up healing.
