Midnight Wine Shine Weigela (Weigela florida 'SMNWFMS')

Midnight Wine Shine Weigela delivers dramatic, dark foliage that makes the whole planting feel more intentional, even when flowers are not in peak. Its compact size slips easily into tight beds, front borders, and small-space designs where a full-size shrub would be too much. In spring, dark pink blooms add a bright pop against the nearly black leaves for a high-contrast look that reads from the curb. Plant it where you want low-effort structure with a strong seasonal highlight.

Distinctive Features

This deciduous weigela is grown primarily for its glossy, deep purple to near-black foliage and dense, mounded habit. In spring, it produces dark pink, trumpet-shaped flowers that stand out sharply against the dark leaves, with the potential for lighter repeat bloom later in the season. The plant stays low and wide, creating a clean, modern edge that layers well with perennials and evergreens. It is also a reliable nectar source for hummingbirds and other pollinators when in bloom.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun for best foliage color and flowering, with light shade tolerated.
  • Soil: Average, well-drained soil is ideal, and it tolerates clay if drainage is reasonable.
  • Water: Medium moisture, water regularly during establishment, then water deeply during extended dry periods.
  • USDA Zones: Grows well in zones 4 to 8.
  • Mature Size: Reaches about 1 to 1.5 feet tall and 2 to 2.5 feet wide.
  • Habit: Compact and mounded with dense branching.
  • Foliage: Very dark purple to near-black leaves with a glossy finish through the growing season.
  • Bloom: Dark pink flowers in spring, typically from April to June depending on climate.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use the dark foliage and spring bloom as a focal point near an entry, patio, or front bed where contrast matters most.
  • Border Front: Line the front of mixed borders to create a clean, low band of dark color that makes neighbors look brighter.
  • Mass Planting: Plant in groups to create a unified block of color that reads clearly from a distance.
  • Containers: Grow in a large container to bring strong contrast to decks, steps, and small outdoor spaces.
  • Low Hedge: Use as a low, informal hedge to define bed edges while keeping sightlines open.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Prune right after the main spring bloom to shape the plant and avoid removing next season's flower buds.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist the first growing season, then water when the top few inches of soil feels dry.
  • Mulching: Mulch the root zone to conserve moisture and reduce weeds, keeping mulch a few inches away from stems.
  • Feeding: Apply compost or a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
  • Renewal: Every few years, remove a few older stems near the base after flowering to keep growth vigorous and dense.

Why Choose Midnight Wine Shine Weigela?

  • Dark Foliage: Deep purple-black leaves add season-long contrast that makes the entire planting look more designed.
  • Compact Form: Low, mounded growth fits small beds and tight border lines without constant control.
  • Spring Color: Dark pink blooms create a crisp, high-contrast display against the foliage.
  • Pollinator Appeal: Flowers help attract hummingbirds and other pollinators during bloom.
  • Deer Resistance: Often shows good deer resistance, though browsing can still occur where pressure is high.

Midnight Wine Shine Weigela is a simple way to add strong contrast and polished structure with minimal maintenance. Give it sun, reliable drainage, and a quick post-bloom trim, and it will stay dense and tidy year after year. Pair it with chartreuse foliage, silver perennials, or clean evergreen shapes to make the dark leaves stand out even more.

Fine holographic sparkle with smooth and even application
Color: Glint Rainbow
I tested this glitter powder several times over about two weeks while using it on my hair and along the cheek area for festival style makeup looks. The shimmer particles are very fine, which helps create a smooth reflective effect rather than chunky glitter. The applicator releases a light dusting of powder, which makes it easier to control how much product is applied. I found that building it gradually works best, starting with a light layer and adding more for a stronger sparkle effect. The holographic finish reflects different tones depending on the lighting, shifting slightly between soft rainbow colors under brighter light. It looks subtle indoors but becomes more noticeable and reflective in direct lighting or outdoor settings. During wear, the glitter stayed in place for several hours with minimal fallout when applied lightly. I noticed that applying it over slightly set makeup or hair helped it adhere better and reduced loose particles. With its fine texture, controllable application, and noticeable sparkle under different lighting, it delivers a versatile glitter effect for creative makeup looks. The quantity of the spray was nice and it was durable under the sun too.

Glitter Bomb
Color: Glint Rainbow
It gets ALL over the place and doesn’t stick all that well. Neat idea but it doesn’t work the way I would hope.

Great glitter body spray
Color: Fairy-Diamond, Color: Fairy-Diamond
So cute. Came with extra glitter, I’m assuming lipgloss you can make into glitter lipgloss, a funnel to help pour the glitter. Or re load your spray. The spray performance is nice. Might stick better with some oil before hand? But I like it so far. Worked 6 hours and still had glitter on me for my photoshoot. I sprayed perfume and then glitter. There’s no odor. The amount of quantity of glitter you get seems good for the price. Durability seems good so far but like I said may need some oil or lotion first to help it stick all day.

Troll glitter
Color: Brandy-Rose
Do not spray too much! This glitter is so fine that it dispenses easily from the puff part and you can easily make yourself look like Poppy the troll. We had so much fun with this for prom

Glitter with staying power
Color: Rainy-Rainbow, Color: Rainy-Rainbow
Super fun and sparkly, the color is beautiful, it comes with 2 glue tubes with brushes that you use to rub the glue onto your skin in order for the sparkle to stick better and longer, made a heart shape on my arm, dries fairly quickly and washes off easily when you're done with it It sprays a fine layer and evenly, it's great for building on for more sparkle or to just have a light layer Even without the glue it lasts at least a couple hours with minimal shedding and light use, seems to have good longevity With 2 glue tubes, a refill tub, funnel and the glitter spray bottle I feel $10 is a great value considering everything you get with it, Overall I feel like it's a fantastic product and will buy again!
