There are some newer varieties of Weigela that are supposed to top out in the 3-4 ft. range. IMHO, a large part of the beauty of a weigela is its habit, which would be ruined by pruning, much like forsythia "pillows" are anathema to me.

Here's an example of why I say that, not that it's a smaller variety. Imagine how different they would look with shorter, non-cascading branches.
