My Monet Weigela

Weigela florida 'Verweig', commonly sold as My Monet®, is a compact, deciduous shrub admired for its variegated foliage and seasonal blooms. Its leaves are a harmonious blend of green, creamy white, and hints of pink, creating beautiful visual appeal. During late spring, it produces clusters of soft pink, trumpet-shaped flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds, enhancing its ornamental value.

Design tip

Treat My Monet® as a foliage accent at the front of a border, where its intricate variegation remains visible. Creamy white margins and pink highlights brighten surrounding greenery, while its compact scale provides contrast without creating a large or visually dominant mass.
