Although it didn't grow much during it's first growing season last year, this year it's already grown 6 inches. I'm hoping for a little growth spurt this summer. Fingers crossed

oh, my, yes!!... and won't that be adorable in bloom???.... that's one of my fave's that I don't have yet!.. note the 'yet'... heehee... they're all around the parking lot at my doctor's so I get to watch them grow... his are only about three to four ft high but last year they bloomed like they were big guys!!!.... the third year yours is in ground, it will show off big time!... just keep it happy thru this summer and it will bust out next year!!!....

Mine is about 36". How long has it been since they have been planted at your doctor's office?? My little one bloomed nicely last year and I'm loving the burgundy new growth (very pretty). The blooms last year were actually too heavy.

We've had a good soaking rain every week for the last two months. Last summer was VERY dry. I gave it a good soaking every week. I'm planning to do it again this year if we have another drought. It loves the rain water though!

i HAVE CMYRTLES BUT THEY DON'T HAVE LEAVES LIKE THAT. wHAT IS THE DIFFERANT IN C MYRTLES
i DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD DIFFERANT TYPES JUST DIFFERANT COLORS.

I'm not familiar with all of the new varieties, but you can do a search on line. My favorite site is www.monrovia.com. There is also the "White Chocolate." I almost got that one, but decided on the burgundy cotton because it was different too, but more affordable. The blooms are white and the new foilage is burgundy.
