There’s nothing else quite like the New Vinho Verde Weigela! After years of positive feedback from trial garden visitors during its evaluation, Proven Winners is pleased to offer this unique selection, characterized by lime green leaves set off with a bold, black margin. Discovered as a variegated sport on a seedling whose parents were golden ‘Briant’s Rubidor’ and burgundy ‘Naomi Campbell’. Like all variegated plants, it will occasionally revert, but it reverts to all black, so will not overgrow the plant.
