Default Pronouncing Weigela

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?
