Care and Maintenance: Cultivating Beauty with Ease

Maintaining the health and vigor of Weigela florida 'Black & White' is simple, thanks to its adaptability and minimal maintenance requirements. Here are some essential care guidelines to help your shrub thrive:

• Sun Exposure: Plant 'Black & White' in a location that receives full sun to partial shade, ensuring optimal flowering and foliage coloration. While it prefers full sun, it can tolerate some shade, especially in hotter climates.
• Soil Conditions: Provide well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Amend heavy clay or sandy soil with organic matter, such as compost or peat moss, to improve soil texture and fertility.
• Watering: Water 'Black & White' regularly during the growing season, especially during periods of prolonged drought. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot.
• Pruning: Prune 'Black & White' immediately after flowering to remove spent blooms and maintain a tidy, compact shape. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to encourage new growth and improve air circulation within the shrub.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for flowering shrubs in early spring, before new growth appears. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizers, as they can promote lush foliage growth at the expense of flowering.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or compost, around the base of 'Black & White' to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
