New Ninebark

You probably don't remember, but last fall I picked up a new ninebark on clearance.

I already had a large ninebark in my garden and don't really know where I'll put another one, but I couldn't pass up the $10 price tag. The one shown above is my existing plant 'Summer Wine', whose deep, dark colors I love. The new one though...

...well, it's fantastic!

Wow!  This one is called 'Center Glow', and is so vibrant! Here's another look at both:

And here they are together:

I'm not sure why the one branch of 'Center Glow' looks so chartreuse -- maybe it's a nutritional thing, or got damaged.

I'm going to put this into a bigger pot as I really have no good idea of where to plant it right now. The colors will darken over the summer, as the foliage looked quite similar to 'Summer Wine' when I bought it. That's not a bad thing as I love 'Summer Wine' with its dark foliage:

But 'Center Glow' is a vibrant, exciting thing right now, and I have to get it into the garden somewhere!
