DIERVILLA. Weigela. Dierville, Ger. Weigelie, Fr. 



Another valuable genus from Japan, introduced as late as 1843. Shrubs of erect habit while young, but 

 gradually spreading and drooping as they acquire age. They produce in June and July superb large, trumpet- 

 shaped flowers of all shades and colors, from pure white to red. In borders and groups of trees they are 

 very effective, and for margins the variegated-leaved varieties are admirably suited, their gay-colored foliage 

 contrasting finely with the green of other shrubs. They flower after the Lilacs in June.
