LA/Mathilda Gutges, to many ifs for a hedge needs winter protection, never gets taller than 20” depending on soil... I get Blue and more Blue never seen Pink... the one on the left is 15yrs old/ right 3ys be between a new BOBO...Just Saying

Hyed, I’m shocked they are so small!

I planted one last summer. It grew quickly and has been my most prolific flowerer (maybe along with the Tiny Tuff Stuff). Started off pink with green centers and turned purple/blue, more pastel as they age, as you mentioned. It is about 3-feet wide and maybe 2-feet high, only after 1-year. It didn't seem to be affected by the winter, with several-day stretched of 0-degrees, while other mac's had some die-back. I'd probably get another if I had a space!

Here is a pic from June when the flowers were still pink. It has grown quite a bit, but I don't have a more recent picture:

Just an FYI, but 'Mathilda Gutges' is NOT the same plant as 'Lindsey Ann', tradename LA Dreamin. Both are very compact growers but LA Dreamin is smaller (~30-36") and is a reblooming or new wood flowering type of mac. MG gets 4-5' tall (and as wide) but is a strictly old wood bloomer so will require winter protection in colder zones. Both have an ability to develop some multicolored blossoms depending on soil pH.

This topic has been talked about before[https://www.houzz.com/discussions/uh-oh-dirr-claims-that-la-dreamin-is-mathilda-gutges-dsvw-vd~3892085[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/uh-oh-dirr-claims-that-la-dreamin-is-mathilda-gutges-dsvw-vd~3892085)

Well, one is a repeat/new wood bloomer and the other is not so how they could be the same plant is a bit mystifying. And they do not give patents to new or renamed versions of existing plants so that just adds to the mix.

Beautiful Jon!
