<p>Little 'Minuet' can bring a lot of color into a garden, without taking a lot of space. In late spring lavender-pink clusters of flowers line the branches for a month or more. And there may well be scattered repeat bloom later on. Meanwhile the purple-tinged leaves offer a more subtle decorative note throughout the growing season. <p>

<p>Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love
<em>Weigela</em>, and so do gardeners. For a plant that gives
you so much to look at, they're very easy to care for. No particular
disease or pest problems. No special soil requirements.No deadheading. Just give them
good drainage, reasonable moisture, and plenty of sun. Prune after
spring bloom...fall pruning puts  next year's flowers at risk.
