I've got a question about Key West, too. I planted mine this spring, and they are flowering well right now, but I am disappointed in the color. Aren't they supposed to be a darker pink? Mine are like a candy pink...much lighter than I thought they would be. Also, the foliage was burgundy when I planted it but soon turned all green. What are the flower and foliage colors like in your gardens? I planted five of them, and they are in the shade, except for in the late afternoon they do get a few hours of direct sun. These are mine in this pic. Could they have been mislabeled?
