Don't know if you're looking for a lighter or a brighter pink, but Palm Springs (http://www.hiddenvalleynaturearts.com/acatalog/palmspringsin...) is a good variety. HVH lists it as a red center, but mine has always been a real bright pink. It's a super hardy grower that is planted in ground at my ex-husband's house (but I still get visitation/photographic rites, lol). Has no problem surviving our winters and is a little over 5' now. I bought it as a 6" from HVH when it first came out, so it's been there probably 2-1/2 years.

For a lighter pink, I can't think of anything other than Tarantella, which Ardesia posted above :-)

Another tall one for me is Pele's Fountain, I'll post a pic of that below.

Simple Pleasures is another terrific yellow/pink from HVH (http://www.hiddenvalleynaturearts.com/acatalog/simplepleasur...). It is a strong bush and very prolific bloomer, but I'm not sure about how tall it gets. Mine is a little less than 3' for now, but it's growing very well.
