Weigela florida 'Verweig 8'
Choose My Monet Purple Effect® Weigela if you want a small front-bed shrub with colored foliage; the tradeoff is it will not give you much size, screening, or a heavy flower show.
Buy This If
- You want compact foliage color.
- You plant near the front.
- You prefer light pruning.
Skip This If
- You need a hedge.
- You want bold flowers.
- The spot dries out.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The foliage carries the show better than the flowers, especially when planted where people can see it up close. |
| Growth Rate | B- | It fills in at a manageable pace, but it is not the shrub to buy when you need quick mass. |
| Maintenance | A- | Light shaping after bloom is usually enough, and heavy pruning can spoil the small mounded shape. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its compact habit makes it a strong fit for tight beds, walkways, and container groupings. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a color accent, not a plant for blocking views or adding structure. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend it as a front-of-bed color shrub, not a backbone plant. Give it decent soil moisture and room from faster growers so its small habit does not get buried.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it flower much?
Yes, but buy it for foliage first and flowers second.
Can it take some shade?
Yes, though stronger light gives better foliage color.
When should I prune it?
Shape lightly after spring bloom if needed.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
