Weigela, genus with about 10 species of East Asian flowering shrubs belonging to the family Diervillaceae, some widely grown as ornamentals for their spring and summer flowers. The tubular, white to red blossoms are borne on upright shrubs to 4 metres (13 feet) tall.

Most species of Weigela are shorter, with narrowly oval leaves and clustered flowers about 3.5 cm (1.5 inches) long. The long, narrow seed pods split in two.
