Hiya, Rox! You haven't seen nothin' yet! Look at mine on the left in this photo I took this morning! LOL! They make a great shade bush or garden room divider or screen from your neighbors! I have to prune this one this weekend because it is 8' tall and touching the roof of my house again. I prune this bush 4-6 times a year. It didn't bloom for me last year because I pruned it too late in the Fall. It is a Fall bloomer. Cut it short in late summer and then just let it go. It will produce buds and bloom like crazy! And the bees and butterflies will love you for the flowers.
