Well Gary, I've been watching this thing for 3 years.
There are just no offshoots anywhere to transplant.
The bush outside my office is HUGE, and so not an option.
I'll throw these things in a pot and leave them outside in the winter and
see if the sprout in the spring I guess.
Don't know what else to do.
I've heard about the short lifespan....still don't know how I feel about
that. I'm looking for instant gratification.
This bush outside my office was only knee high when we moved in, now it is
HUGE
(guess you got that huh? ;-))

I don't have a wood burning fireplace, but they will work great in the
chiminea (sp?)

thanks,
jojo


Give it a shot, it can't hurt. When you plant them in the ground, plant
them around the edges of the yard where you'll get the most effect from
the fall color. And when they die, I'll bet you'll have more.
