The monsters do have their own beauty. Mine grows much more than 7 or 8" - I have photos somewhere of how it covers the grill, I cut it back, it grows over the grill again, etc. That silly routine is repeated too often from May to November. The trimming in this photo only took 15 minutes but it has to be done so often.

I don't have either 'Moonlight' or 'Alabaster' but it's easy to watch the strong pink stripes fading on 'Nelly Moser'.
