The common names of plants often undergo changes - probably just to confuse the average gardener! Weigela is the common name of a well-known and often grown shrub in the Caprifoliaceae family. The classification and description of the plant can be found at the following website: http://www.keil.ukans.edu/delt...
I hope this information helps clear the confusion!
