I have always heard it pronounced around here like wye geel eeuh. Different
regions probably pronounce it different ways.

the originality.

Okay, my dictionary skills lack here, can't work out how it is commonly
pronounced:
wei·ge·la (wI gEE?luh, -jEE?-, wI?guh luh) n. pl. -las
1. any of various shrubby, E Asian plants belonging to the genus
Weigela, of the honeysuckle family, having funnel-shaped white,
pink, or crimson flowers.
[1840-50; NL, after C. E. Weigel (1748-1831), German physician;
see - A 2]
- Is it Y-GEE-LUH
or something completely different?
That's how I pronounce it.
