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.

Who doesn't love a unicorn?
Size: 2T, Color: Pink/Unicorn
Cute set but runs a bit big in my opinion for a size 2T. My grandbaby is tall for her age (22 months), but the pants were really long and loose on her, granted she's not chunky, so factor that in. Overall, it's a nice set and the material is soft (especially the pants) and seems like it would keep the little ones warm.
