Diervilla  •  The  Weigelas 
An  important  group,  indispensable  for  ornamental  plantings.  They  thrive  in  most  any  soil, 
are  strong  growers  and  generally  hardy.  When  young  of  upright  habit,  growing  with  age  into 
more  graceful  shrubs.  Useful  as  specimens,  and  especially  desirable  for  groups  or  masses.  In 
May  or  June,  as  the  lilacs  are  fading,  the  Weigelas  are  aglow  with  a  wealth  of  flowers,  borne  all 
along  their  branches,  and  some  varieties  flower  sparingly  through  the  summer.
