Another vote for hydrangea. I thought that initially from the pic - those little 'buds' the leaves burst from, being pink, is typical. Weigelas have longer, softer/smoother looking foliage.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I'm glad it turned out to be what you wanted it to be I found cuttings are really easy if you want more. I started with one and now have several dotted around the garden. My fave hydrangea

@Pete.8. I seem to remember that i didn't water it for a couple of days at most. It threw all of its toys out of the pram and dropped its leaves. Seems like it might be a bit fussy.
Mine are all planted in the garden but like all hydrangeas they wont tolerate dry roots. In the garden they get a bigger root system so can hydrate easier. (note the similarity - hydrangea - hydrate:)

I'm on good ol'Essex clay here too B3. I dug in a bucket of home-compost when I plant them and 5-6 years on they're all growing well. I think it would be happier in the ground, just keep it watered well over the summer to let it establish. You could also give it a bigger container now and plant it out in the autumn if you prefer.
