Newer weigela breeding has emphasised small, compact types, usually with coloured foliage, however it’s onerous to beat the sheer considerable floral show of bigger types, like this beautiful old school weigela (Weigela florida, Zones 5–9), which make a fountain of bloom every spring.

Peonies (Paeonia hybrid, Zones 3–8) are available in a variety of colours, and this deep, wealthy pink is especially placing.
This actually uncommon peony flower seems just like the cultivar ‘Inexperienced Lotus’, which has these attention-grabbing tattered petals for a very completely different look.
