Kolkwitzia would have blossoms with a kind of lips, I think that's not it. It looks a little bit like a Prunus triloba, but the leaves should have a serrated edge. There are some other species/ cultivars similar to it, sorry, cant remember a name. What is the bark like of the thicker stems? Bye, Lin

Thank you so much! I took a leaf and pictures to a local garden center but they didn't know what it was- yay for you. We tried transplanting some into my yard - not looking so great at the moment but I do like the taste. Made a great lemon green smoothie! Do you have a picture of yours? Where did you get your plant? Does it survive the Chicago winter? Beautiful garden!

First plant is Ceratostigma plumbaginoides or Ceratostigma wimottianum, aka Leadwort.
