FamilyCaprifoliaceae
Weigela 'Tuxedo' is a spectacular deciduous shrub renowned for the striking contrast between its very dark purple foliage and its brilliant white flowers. This Weigela florida cultivar has a bushy, dense habit, slightly wider than tall, forming an elegant and structured silhouette ideal for mass planting, borders, or foundations. Its spring flowering, sometimes followed by a light rebloom in summer, effectively attracts pollinators.

Easy to grow and well-adapted to cold climates, Weigela 'Tuxedo' tolerates a wide variety of well-drained soils. It is an excellent choice for creating strong contrasts in contemporary or classic landscape designs.
