Brookville seems to be an ideal location for this particular species. At least I have had great success in growing them from scratch. And the color of this bush or tree is the most unusual I have ever seen. The Rose of Sharon produces a white blossom with a deep red center that bleeds into the white. It is from a tree that I made by taking a small limb off the parent bush and sticking it into the ground. Then I kept pulling off leaves and sprouts until it formed a trunk. Now, it looks like a tree and is 8 to 10 feet tall. The parent bush was removed as it was becoming too large for the location it was in.
It's a beauty
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors. And, thankfully, the Rose of Sharon Tree, has all of the same colors.
Deleteit is really beautiful - and obviously likes your soil!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness this one is over out of the way where we would, so we don't have to walk through the dropped off flowers that get wet and slippery. Thanks for your visits to my blog.
ReplyDeleteNow it is a tree and on the opposite side of the yard.
DeletePretty flowers, Abe !
ReplyDeleteI think the flowers are just beautiful.
