  The most recent introduction to the 'All Summer' series, this weigela can produce its soft apricot-coloured flowers all the way from April to October, so offers an incredibly long season of interest. It has a naturally compact habit, which makes it perfect for a pot on the patio, but it can also be used to fill gaps at the front of a mixed border. It's an easy to grow and very rewarding stalwart for the summer garden.
  
  
• Garden care: Once established remove one or two of the older stems to the base in late summer, cutting back the flowered stems to strong shoots below the spent flowers.
