Could also be Rose of Sharon. I have them. It's kinda bushy but it grows tall. The flowers look like hibiscus.

Do you know any planting tips for them?cattitude said:Could also be Rose of Sharon. I have them. It's kinda bushy but it grows tall. The flowers look like hibiscus.
Um, dig a hole, stick the root in the hole, put the dirt back in the hole and water it. They are not picky at all. I have some growing in clay soil that I just plopped in the ground.sushisamba said:Do you know any planting tips for them?
Thanks. Was hoping someone could suggest light exposure.BS Gal said:Um, dig a hole, stick the root in the hole, put the dirt back in the hole and water it. They are not picky at all. I have some growing in clay soil that I just plopped in the ground.
They like full sunlight.sushisamba said:Thanks. Was hoping someone could suggest light exposure.
Mine get some sun in the p.m. They are pretty forgiving wherever you put them. I've seen them doing fine in full shade, also. If you kill yours, I have more you can have.sushisamba said:Thanks. Was hoping someone could suggest light exposure.
