Holly Days Nursery Spilled Wine Weigela

Since this shrub has a spreading habit of 2 to 4 feet, you should space them at least 3 feet apart if you want them to grow together as a border, or 4 feet apart if you prefer to see them as individual specimens.

Spilled Wine Weigela has a naturally low, spreading habit that requires very little maintenance. If you do want to prune it, wait until immediately after it finishes blooming in late spring to avoid cutting off next year's flower buds.

Yes, this variety is considered deer-resistant. While no plant is completely deer-proof, they typically avoid this shrub, making it a reliable choice for gardens where wildlife pressure is a concern.

Absolutely. Because of its compact size and cascading form, it performs very well in large containers. Just ensure the pot has adequate drainage and receives full sun throughout the day.

Being deciduous means the shrub will lose its leaves in the winter and go dormant. You can expect the foliage to drop once the weather turns cold, and it will sprout fresh new leaves again in the spring.

For the best deep purple-burgundy color, this plant requires full sun, which means at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. If planted in too much shade, the foliage may turn greener and the plant will produce fewer flowers.
