I intend on planting three Blue Satin rose of sharons in my back yard.
Drainage can sometimes be an issue, however, so I was thinking of adding
some mositure-loving redtwig dogwoods and peve minarets to the mix. I'd
appreciate any thoughts on this, including placement suggestions. I
have a fairly large corner to work with, entirely in the sun, zone 5.

Thanks.

Have you lost your mind... rose of sharon is extremely invasive... its
seeds sprout everywhere, by the billions... your neighbors will hate
your guts, you'll hate your guts.


Rose of Sharon is the same as Althea Bush, right? I told my family I was
planning to plant some of the seed I harvested from mine, and my aunt, 86
years old, said she had never heard of the seed sprouting. ??? Kinda
disappointed me to hear this, perhaps she thinks any sprouts that come up
around the root are not from seeds, but from roots???? We all live in
southern Arkansas if that makes a difference.
