Weigela ‘White Lightning’ is a distinctive deciduous shrub valued for its pale foliage and its colour-changing flowers. The leaves emerge creamy white with soft green patterning, bringing light and contrast to borders throughout the growing season. In late spring, deep pink buds form along the stems and gradually open to clean white flowers, creating a subtle but eye-catching display. Naturally upright and easy to manage, this hardy shrub suits mixed borders and feature planting where bright foliage, seasonal flowering, and reliable structure are required with minimal maintenance.
