Maintenance:

To ensure the health and vitality of Weigela 'Ebony & Ivory', follow these maintenance tips:

1. Light Requirements: Plant in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. While it tolerates some shade, more sun exposure generally results in better flowering.

2. Soil Conditions: Provide well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Amend the soil with compost or aged manure before planting to enhance fertility and drainage.

3. Watering: Regularly water the plant to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overwatering, as it may lead to root rot.

4. Fertilization: Feed 'Ebony & Ivory' with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring, following the package instructions for application rates. This will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and blooming.

5. Pruning: Prune immediately after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage better branching and future blooms. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossed branches.

6. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the shrub to conserve moisture, suppress weed growth, and insulate the roots.

7. Pest and Disease Control: Monitor the plant regularly for signs of pests or diseases, such as aphids or powdery mildew. Take appropriate measures, such as using insecticidal soap or horticultural oils, to control infestations or fungal issues.
