Weigela florida 'SMNWFMS'
Weigela - Midnight Wine Shine®
If you grew Midnight Wine®, it's time to switch to Midnight Wine Shine®. This is an improved selection with darker, extremely glossy foliage. Its parentage comes from the Canadian variety so it has excellent hardiness and is less prone to tip dieback. While its flowers are a bit better than Midnight Wine, the plant is grown for its attractive foliage and habit making it a great replacement for Berberis in places where it's banned.
