I do not have the information in front of me but I thought it was supposed to turn different slightly different pink colors (slightly darker?) so find them locally to confirm that these shades of pink are still acceptable with your personal tastes.

I have it, but it’s only my second year, so it’s not very large. I don’t remember the fall foliage being as colorful as that of my regular Quick Fire last autumn, but to be fair, it was positioned in far less sun, and it appears to perform best in full sun. I moved it, so I’ll see how it performs this fall.

How is it performing so far this year. lovemycorgi? It should be blooming by now, being an early bloomer, no?

Second summer with it and same results as @lovemycorgi z5b SE michigan. Seems like a perfectly fine paniculata, but nothing really interesting about it.

Had my QF fab on the Southside of my house, full sun...they bloomed early and have turned a greenish pink color...1st summer in the ground plenty of blooms but not a lot of vertical growth.

Any chance you have a photo? This variety seems leggy so it may need a border in front.

Not Hu, but I agree with their assessment - not a lot of vertical growth. Mine is spreading outward rather than getting taller. Definitely not leggy so far, like my Fire Lights are.

I bought one from Home Depot online 3 years ago. I have mine on the west side of the house and is doing fine but it has to compete with a Plum Magic crepe myrtle that has lots of root suckers, a red twig dogwood (volunteer), and a Luna Pink Swirl hardy hibiscus, and other weeds.

It is dwarfish which is a good thing. This was July 2nd and I don't do much on that side of the house so I don't know what it looks like now.

Luna Pink Swirl hibiscus next to it (plus the weedy Ruellia that can get 4 to 6 foot tall)
