This is a white, turning to pink that was a 2' cutting last fall. It's now a 5' plant or standard. I 'stuck' it in the front yard behind a brug just to see if the afternoon sun would make a difference. I think it did. I have not had good luck trying to keep them short and "bushy." They seem to want to be small trees in my back garden. I believe it's because I have so much shade. They're craning toward the sun. I know they aren't picky about soils or water. The hard freeze we had last winter didn't phase them.
