Re: Flowering Shrubs -Reply


Hi again everyone:

Virginia
Sweetspire. 

I think I just saw that on a garden show.  Doesn't it
sucker profusely?  Pretty red fall color, though?

Are the Barberries you were referring to Berberis? 

I really like 'Crimson Pygmy' -- it stays about 2 x 2. 
The larger ones are gorgeous but are, um, larger!

I am thinking about ordering one of the pink
flowered Clethras this spring.
Do they leaf out real late?

I have clethra alnafolia 'Pink Spire.'  They do leaf
out late and mine is just now turning yellow in my
6b/7a garden.  They do sucker quite a bit; you'll
have plants to share in no time.  It is the only shrub
that blooms that late in summer in my garden.  Its a
wonderful shrub.

For mine is just a little old-fashioned garden where
the flowers come together to praise the Lord and
teach all who look upon them to do likewise.
