Plant Midnight Wine Shine® Weigela in well-drained soil with full sun exposure for optimal growth. Space plants about 2-3 feet apart to allow for mature spread. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new blooms. Protect from harsh winter conditions by covering with burlap if necessary.
