Deer browse shrubs heavily.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The dark foliage gives strong contrast in a mixed bed, especially when planted near green or gold-leaved plants.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a moderate pace without turning into a shrub that constantly needs cutting back.
Maintenance
B+
A light shaping after bloom is usually enough, but avoid hard pruning late in the season.
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 mound works well near walkways, bed edges, and below windows.
Screening Value
D
It is too low and deciduous to function as a privacy or property-line screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Spilled Wine® Weigela for sunny bed edges where foliage color carries the planting after spring bloom. Pair it with green, gold, or fine-textured plants so the dark leaves do not disappear.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it bloom all summer?
No. Expect its main flower show in spring; buy it for foliage too.
Can I plant it near the foundation?
Yes, if the spot gets strong sun and you leave room for its natural mound.
Do deer eat it?
They can, especially in winter or high-pressure areas, so protect new plants if deer are regular visitors.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
