Charlie, Maid of Honor vs. Cindy's Heart

Hi Charlie,
Some of the photos of these two CV's seem similar. What are the differences between the two in size, color, growth habit, etc. I am looking forward to seeing each of them bloom and comparing side by side, but unfortunately that is not happening soon enough.
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, I missed the post the first time around.
Cindy's Heart is a very sun and heat tolerant cultivar. The blooms change very little in the sun while the blooms of Maid of Honor lose a lot more color. C Heart remains a dark, vivid pink while Maid of Honor becomes a very light pink. I like Maid of Honor as a specimen plant in a pot that can be moved as needed to avoid too much sun. The flowers are very pretty and interesting - I'm trying to root it again this fall. Cindy's Heart can be used that way, too, but also makes an excellent garden plant. Both are fairly slow growing, medium size bushes. Maid of Honor is very stout with thick wood and I expect it will prove to be a good survivor.

Thanks!
They are both in the Shade House with CH in a brighter area. The CH blooms have been great, but MOH has a little bit more growing to do.
