Parcel arrived in a sorry state despite the markings on the box. The plant has survived the winter well, looking forward to seeing it bloom as spring approaches.

Description
The Weigela 'Black and White' is a relatively recent dwarf variety. This beautiful bush with a rather spreading habit will reach a height of about 60 cm (23.6 in) with a spread of 80 cm: it will therefore be a great choice for small spaces or for container gardening. It combines dark green-purple foliage with bright, ivory white trumpet-shaped flowers that taper to red at their base. Elegant even in its compact habit, this plant will bring a trendy and original touch to the foreground of a border or in a pot on the terrace or balcony.
The Weigela 'Black and White' was obtained in 2009 by the INRA of Angers. Weigelas are Asian and belong to the caprifoliaceae family, just like honeysuckles. This innovative variety received the Bronze Medal at PLANTARIUM 2009 (Boskoop - NETHERLANDS).
It is a low bushy shrub with a rather spreading and compact growth habit. It eventually forms a ramified bush with arched branches, reaching a height of about 60 cm (23.6 in) with a spread of 80 cm. Its deciduous foliage is composed of lanceolate leaves, slightly undulate, which have a very dark colour, a dark green tinged with purple and chocolate during flowering. Its funnel-shaped flowers, produced abundantly in May-June, are carried in corymbs at the ends of the branches. They are ivory white, becoming pink-purple at their base. This flowering is also nectar-bearing. The autumn foliage, also very ornamental, is a purple-red colour.
Hardy down to -20°C (-4 °F), the Weigela 'Black and White' thrives in sunny or semi-shady positions, in a moist but well-drained soil. Its graceful, spreading and compact habit makes it an elegant shrub, and the contrast between its almost black foliage and its white flowers gives it a unique personality. In a border, for example, you can give it companions such as variegated dogwoods, a small almost white willow (Salix rosmarinifolia or Repens 'Nitida'), a golden-leaved spirea (Spiraea 'Tor Gold') or a white and massive-flowering spirea (Spiraeae vanhouttei), or a compact Viburnum 'Bailey Compact'. In the background, the dark green foliage of hollies, boxwoods, or yews will provide a beautiful backdrop for its contrasting colours and ensure the winter scenery. You can also plant this weigela in a container to decorate the terrace, or plant it as a standalone to attract attention in small gardens.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
