Saw this at a store for a whopping $54, it is now on the discount rack for $17.

This seems to be new since google searches are not yielding many sources. Two nurseries are selling, one online that shows up on google, and the other is Monrovia, which was at the store.

"Enjoy colorful foliage and flowers all season with this new variety. New leaves are orange-red, age to bright yellow with orange tips. Big clusters of pink blooms arrive in summer, repeating if spent flowers are clipped. The fall flower heads add nice winter interest if left intact. Easy care shrub for borders or perennial beds." -Monrovia-

Anyone able to vouch for the authenticity of this claim, or have any other information to share? At the store, leaves were very bright yellow, but no orange tips. New things sound fun...might just get it anyway and take notes.
