This striking Weigela is prized for its bold contrast between nearly black foliage and crisp white blooms. Compact yet full, it reaches a mature size of 4 to 5 feet tall and wide. In late spring, tube-shaped white flowers emerge in abundance, often reblooming sporadically throughout summer. The dense, oval-shaped leaves range from deep purple to almost black, creating a dramatic effect in the landscape.

Weigelas thrive with afternoon or filtered shade in hot climates but require adequate sun to produce their best floral display. Adaptable to clay soils, they prefer well-drained, evenly moist conditions and have minimal pest or disease issues. While pruning is generally unnecessary, shaping after the spring bloom can encourage reblooming and maintain its form.

The Tuxedo™ Weigela is an excellent choice for foundation plantings, mixed borders, and as a backdrop for perennials. It also performs well in large containers, adding a striking contrast to patio and garden spaces.
