 Weigela
Weigela: the plant formerly known as Cardinal Shrub
Weigela was once considered something of a bore because of its one-season show—its trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of red, pink, rose, and white were admittedly spectacular in the spring but when they faded, the shrub offered little but nondescript leaves on tangled twigs during summer and fall.
But varieties of Weigela are now available with fabulous foliage, whether clear green, purple to nearly fl, or yellow-tinged and variegated.

  Paghat's Garden: Weigela florida 'Java Red'
Weigela florida 'Java Red' has alternatively been sold with the names 'Rhoni,' 'Purpurea,' & most commonly 'Foliis Purpureis,' these names alluding to the purple leaves of this cultivar.
Of course when in flower, even young weigelas are bound to be pleasing, but they are slow-growing shrubs that take ten years before they really look ruggedly mature.
Due to its compact habit it is one of the least prone to ranginess when left unpruned, though some degree of ranginess seems inescapable even with a compact dwarf, demanding some pruning once every three years, as opposed to the need for annual pruning for full-sized weigalas.

Hard to comment on their performance - weigelas are tough little shrubs and nearly every cultivar has something to say for itself.
