Interesting Notes about Beauty Bush:

Beautybush in the spring is beautiful, but it does tend to lose its appeal the rest of the season, mainly because of the pruning required to keep it from looking shaggy.  The cultivars are improvements by way of extending the seasonal interest which would then offset the labor aspect.
