Minuet Weigela blends easily with perennials because its branches have movement rather than a stiff hedge-like outline. With Minuet Weigela, avoid routine shearing; selective cuts keep the plant open and show the branch structure. Minuet Weigela is an easy plant to build a design around, especially where a rounded, arching framework is useful. Compare Minuet Weigela with other shrubs at The Greenhouse Nursery in Logan, UT.
