Weigela florida ‘EBONY AND IVORY’ (PBR) is a compact deciduous shrub grown for its dramatic contrast of dark foliage and bright spring flowers. The leaves develop in deep purple to near-black tones, forming a bold backdrop that remains effective throughout the growing season. In late spring and early summer, clean white, trumpet-shaped flowers open along the stems, standing out sharply against the dark foliage and creating a strong visual impact. Naturally tidy in habit and easy to manage, this hardy variety works well in borders and mixed planting where colour contrast and a controlled size are key considerations.
