The  Weigelas 
Sometimes  also  classed  as  Diervillas.  These  shrubs  bloom  after  the  lilacs,  in  May  and 
June.  They  make  a  strong  growth,  erect  when  young,  gradually  spreading  and  drooping  into 
most  graceful  shape  with  age.  Their  large  flowers  are  of  wide  trumpet-shape,  of  all  colors  from 
white  to  red,  and  borne  in  clusters  thickly  all  along  their  branches.  Used  for  borders,  groups, 
immediate  effects  and  low  screens.
