i don't have chica, but i have a yellow kordana from wal mart that is doing great. it did go through an initial "out of the nursery and no hormones" shock, but it recovered and is now blooming well.

My Sunbeam Kordana from Wal-Mart does spread quite a bit. If you ever considered showing minis, it's a good thing to have single blooms on long stems. But I just think it makes for a lanky bush. My experience with Kordanas is that they aren't very well-behaved bushes, but the blooms are spectacular. Definately not one of the most compact minis.
