Re: My Monet Weigela

**C* U* <c*@sbcglobal.net>**

I got two My Monets two summers ago. One looked fine through the  
first summer and the other looked peaked. After the first winter, the  
one that looked peaked came through better than the other one. I  
realized last summer that these are plants that are best put in a  
container. Too small to have impact in my mixed border. So if they  
make it through this their second winter, I'm potting them up.
