I have a first year one but it is still an ugly duckling.

If you googled I'm sure you found it, but this one looks fairly good sized...

How did I miss that one????????

This below is mine:

I'm very disappointed with the plant habit and foliage.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLANT.

The plants I have seen have terrific, unique flowers. Unfortunately, H. paniculatas are ugly plants out of bloom.

I purchased mine from Bluestone Perennials last year, so it was tiny, tiny. Here is a picture of it taken recently. Still small, but blooming nicely. Please ignore all the weeds under the porch, we need to put down fabric and stones.
