Kitty Kay is just a moderate grower for me, small increase and occasionally misses blooming a year but it is so pretty when it does that I will continue to baby it. I have three pinks that I planted last year that I hope to see bloom this year, Keppel's Pretty Kitty and Strawberry Shake and Tom Johnson's Flamingo Frenzy. My two best pinks for vigor of growth are Ghio's Star Appeal and Hollywood Star. They are also the pinkest. I highly recommend them.
