Grown primarily for its brilliant foliage, Weigela florida My Monet® 'Sunset' is a dwarf, compact, deciduous shrub of rounded habit, noted for its tricolored variegation. Emerging in spring, narrowly ovate, gently rippled leaves line the gracefully arching branches. Adorned with sage green in their center, bright pink and creamy-yellow edges, they warm up to attractive shades of gold and reds in the fall. In spring to early summer, soft rosy-pink flowers will occasionally be produced. A petite and highly ornamental shrub that is easy to grow and adds multi-season color. Great for small gardens or containers.
