remember, these are the "dwarf" ones, were this size in 2 years. I got great soil, I
use a slow release fert on em, and I had water on one of those automatic rainbirds.
regretfully, I had to dig em out because they were overwhelming my bulbs, my peony,
my carpet junipers. so....... plant em in compost with manure on the side, water
every other day (if there is a slope) and stand back. I see Jungs doesnt sell the
dwarf ones anymore. I think the dwarf ones were maybe 12 inches. they had
on the right you will see hostas... I think they were planted in 2001. everything
gets huge fast. Ingrid
** I included pictures of them the year they were planted in 2000 and in 2001.

yeah. I gotta order some more myself, some of the big ones to make a
"living" fence
along the drive. the nice thing about these is you can whack them after
they flower
and they put those great arching branches of beautiful flowers. and after
the
flowers are done the dry seedpod s are pretty nice too. Milwaukee is
loaded with
bridal wreath. Ingrid

Are these shipped as seeds or actual plants? Also, how fast do they grow a
year?

Thanks again for your help!

Dan
