Identify a plant

Hi can anyone identify this plant for me.

It flowered well last year but not so good this year.

It has gone very leggy and I would like to trim it but not sure when and how to do it.

It is a Weigela.

Possibly Weigela florida Versicolor.

Thanks very much for identifying the Weigela for me.

If your plant has gone leggy and not flowering as well as last year, it's due to you not pruning it after flowering last year. If you take a risk and prune hard on the weak and floppy stems now and cut half of the rest, you should get flowers next year. Remember to prune straight after flowering to keep the stems fresh every year, and they will perform very well.
