You're right in all respects - especially in the vigorous growth aspect. Far
too vigorous for our garden. Some years ago I broke off two bits from park
shrubs and grew them on but was amazed at the size they achieved, they
swamped everything else. It was a shame to dig them out because of the
lovely colours but there simply wasn't space, they need lots of room for the
full effect.

Have you tried the yellow one? Planted together they seem to emphasise the
other's colour, wonderful foils.

If you have room :-(
