I will check into that Wiegela because I like stuff that has a long bloom time. I must duplicate my mothers success and I know she had hers on the west side of the house and it got all the afternoon sun. Also it was near a water spout, hers was there over twenty years and it is the older variety that gets big, but I do know from experience that it was fairly easy to prune because I did prune hers every year.
