Weigela Ebony and Ivory ('Velda') (PBR)
weigela or weigelia
This weigela has quite unique colouring. The foliage is a rich, deep green, but takes on hints of plum as the summer progresses. These form a lush backdrop for the red-throated white trumpets that smother the stems in early summer. A low-growing, spreading form, it is great for livening up the front of the border and will also do well in pots.
