Plant information

Plant Description

Weigela ‘Black and White’ is a striking deciduous shrub celebrated for its dramatic foliage and delicate flowers. The dark, almost black-purple leaves provide a bold contrast to the soft white trumpet-shaped blooms that appear in late spring to early summer, attracting bees and butterflies. Compact yet robust, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape and encourages new growth. Ideal for borders, mixed beds, or as a feature plant, Weigela ‘Black and White’ combines unique foliage with seasonal blooms, adding year-round interest and sophistication to your garden.

🌿 How to Care for Weigela ‘Black and White’

How do I prune Weigela ‘Black and White’?
Weigela ‘Black and White’ should be left through the winter, as the dead wood protects them from frost. They can be pruned in early spring, and more vigorous varieties may be trimmed again around June.
Weigela ‘Black and White’ can be susceptible to aphids, capsid bugs, whitefly, sage leafhoppers, and glasshouse red spider mites. Additionally, fungal issues like grey mould (Botrytis) can develop in cool and damp conditions, especially during overwintering.
Water Weigela ‘Black and White’ regularly during dry spells, particularly newly planted ones. Established hardy salvias are drought-tolerant but benefit from deep watering during prolonged hot periods. Avoid waterlogging, as it can cause root rot.
Weigela ‘Black and White’ require light feeding in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or compost. Tender salvias benefit from fertilisation every 2–4 weeks during the growing season using a liquid feed for flowering plants. Over-fertilising should be avoided, as it can encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Propagation of Weigela ‘Black and White’is prohibited without a licence
Weigela ‘Black and White’ should be trimmed around April or May, a technique often called the “Chelsea Chop,” once new shoots start to appear. Cut back to the fresh growth, and continue deadheading throughout the season. Vigorous varieties can be pruned again in July to encourage bushier, greener plants rather than tall, woody stems. Salvias should not be cut back in autumn, as leaving the foliage intact helps protect the plant from frost.
Weigela ‘Black and White’ moderately drought-tolerant once established, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. Tender salvias are less drought-tolerant and require more consistent watering.
Weigela ‘Black and White’ performs well in UK gardens if given full sun and free-draining soil. It’s hardy in most areas, flowers for months in summer and autumn, and suits borders or containers. Avoid winter wet and prune lightly in spring.
