I ordered Pinky Winky this spring as a one gallon. So far I have been disappointed in the performance. I will give it another season to grow but the one gallon Limelight I planted much later has bloomed already.

I like this shrub very much. It is new here this season but already is three feet tall and covered with flowers. There are blooms on every branch and they are held upright. It has nice dark reddish stems that contrast with the dark green foliage and two-toned pink and white flowers. The flowers bloom on new wood so a late spring frost will not prevent future flowers.
