Re: Siberian "Steve"

 

I had it growing in a neglected part of my garden, growing at the drip line of a weeping crabapple. I pulled the crabapple out last year, in preparation for reworking that bed, but it hasn't happened yet. I'll dig around and see if I can find it.
'Steve' was one of my first named Siberian cultivars. The form is not particularly fashionable now and its form is a little messy. I know that many people ripped it out in favor of newer cultivars, but it definitely have a place in the garden, especially if you're going for a "Monet" effect.
