| Author's Notes | On impulse I bought this shrub without doing research just depending on the label info. Planted in late summer 2010, will be fun to see how it grows. Of course I will give it beneficial amounts of acid fertilizer in quest of the illusive blue. Since the above report the plant is winter hardy for me. My plant is away from a water source so I will bucked in water during dry spells. Flowered but no where near what it is reported to do. |
