Dwarf Wigela - for a limited space

I was wondering if anybody knows a good wigela that wouldn’t be growing too big and more importantly not too wide.
As far as I know wigela flowers on old wood, so to have flowers (main reason for choosing this plant) I wouldn’t be able to control the size by pruning. Which makes it extremely important to pick a variety that naturally wouldn’t be growing big.
I tried to look it up online but it seems like different nurseries give different size description for the same plant, so I was hoping for some actual fellow gardeners experience.
The space I have is: up to 6’ tall, no more than 4’ wide. Preferably floriferous and scented. For sunny and quite sheltered position.
I have lost one of my evergreen hedge plants recently and am considering to replace it by a wigela, as I love them and also it is much better for bees than an evergreen conifer.
Any advice is appreciated 😊

Not scented though.
