Blushing Knock Out. Minimal pruning this year. ~6.5' tall, 5' wide. Slideshow linked below. The red bud in the photo in the slide show is on the Blushing KO plant. Sometimes it throws a bloom the color of it's parent, Knock Out, sometimes there is a striped bloom. Hasn't been fertilized this year. Oh, this is one plant.

Bloom at bottom left is Caramel Fairy Tale.

I have never seen a blushing KO, but based on these pics, I'd say landscapers ought to be using it more often rather than just relying on the ubiquitous KO. I'm quite impressed with Blushing KO.

Wow! I had no idea it could get that big! Nor how pretty it is!

Thanks everyone. It had minimal pruning (like, a few canes thinned out), and it is topping out at around 7'. It is coming down by 1/3rd after this bloom cycle, I am glad that it is doing so well.
