Weigela florida (Weigela) 'Black and White'

A striking deciduous shrub that creates dramatic contrast in the garden with its deep purple black foliage and pure white trumpet shaped flowers appearing in late spring. The blossoms emerge in such abundance they nearly cover the entire plant, creating a spectacular monochromatic display against the dark leaves. More compact than many similar shrubs, its upright yet bushy habit makes it perfect for borders or as a focal point in mixed plantings. The richly coloured foliage maintains its intensity throughout summer, unlike some purple leaved plants that fade in heat. Valued for its exceptional disease resistance and tolerance of urban conditions, this eye catching performer thrives in full sun while adding bold architectural interest to any landscape design.
