I checked my summer sunlight inventory pics, I'm going to say the older one gets more, since the newer one is in the shadow of the house the first part of the day, although the older one has been moved to the end of the planter, and the planter moved a bit. Short story is it was in the shadow of the shed early on.
I also googled around and read that they often need to mature a few years before they bloom. They're both on the side of the house that gets the most sunlight. Another factor is a worker at the nursery picked out the newer one for us and said it was the healthiest one of the picks. I didn't ask for help picking the older one, just read the tag and said "cool" and put it in the cart (my wife wasn't with me either for the first one, she's a stickler for asking questions).
