This bush is growing on the north west side of our house. We thought it was almost dead, but hubby did some pruning and it just bloomed beautifully in the past few days.

Comments (1)The advantages of planting most perennials, shrubs, and trees (in our zone) in early to mid fall is slight compared to planting them in early to mid spring. In colder climates, it's often best to wait until spring to plant. If you are planting a fast growing or top-heavy deciduous tree or shrub, fall might give the roots time to get more well established before the plant experiences wind that could push the tree, with a smaller root ball, over. Basically, plant at whichever time is more convient to YOU. If you plant them correctly and water them until they get established either time (in this climate zone) would work just great....See MoreWhat plants can hold their own against (dis)obedient plant?
Comments (6)In IL my obedient plants grew well enough, but they were in more shade than they wanted so didn't get out of hand. Down here I have friends in ATX who can grow them but I've planted and lost Physotegia a few times - guess too much shade and tree roots coming in under the fences from every side keeps them from living, let alone spreading. On the other hand, I don't want to give them a great spot that will turn them into monsters like Marti's! I heard a floral designer explain the obedient thing - it refers to the way you can sort of tweak and rotate the individual florets on the axis where they are spaced along the stem. That way you can make each floret face in the direction you want... useful for arrangements that are meant to be seen only from the front, rather than from all sides. A very minor piece of obedience, to my mind....See MoreCan anyone tell me what plant this is. It was growing in my Jade plant
