The Weigelas are an interesting and useful family of shrubs, flowering in 
May, June and July. The flowers in shape may be likened to those of a 
Foxglove and are borne in immense quantities. They prefer a moist soil and 
do not like shade or roots of large trees encroaching on them. Otherwise 
their culture is simple. The average ultimate height of most varieties is 
about 5 to 6 feet.
