The ones that are shown above are in the middle of a very hot, dry, elevated, full sun bed near the corner of our lot. They were little 3 or 5 gallon pots just 5 yrs ago...

I just found this photo, and cannot believe how full they have filled in now!

They are very happy where they are, but we are going to be trimming them back this winter. We have 2 others that are just as large (7ft tall), but are not blooming as well. We know of some local landscapers that trim them back by half, and they fill out nicely and have a much better shape. We won't go too crazy on these 4, but the other ones will get cut back to about half!

We've been told by the neighbors that they are their favorite focal point from their front windows too!
