Is that from your garden, Kell? I know a few people on the NE forum have gotten it. It's on my list.

Yes, Joseph, so cool!

No, not mine, Victor. But so hard not to get it, is such a dark pink in light. I saw some not so dark too, they were in shade. I am wondering what the summer color is. A couple of nurseries here have tons of them in. Ecrane just told me she bought one.

Is it really as pink as it looks in the picture? Very pretty

Yes, so PINK! I think the sun plays a big part in it for I saw some less pink too. It is the spring colors too. Often more colorful than later on.

So that one was in part sun, Kell?

The sun is not very hot here yet. I would think in summer they would burn in full sun.

I assumed the ones that were so very pink had more sun. I had gone to both nurseries over a week or so, a chain. One had ones noticeably less pink than the other. It could be that they were there longer, they were in shade. The other nursery had most of them in full sun.
