No name for it but coastal southern east coast and maybe Corpus Christi Texas? I'm thinking mostly along the SC/NC coastal areas. Might be in other places of course. If I'm placing it right, doesn't get very tall (2ft max?) and not hard to control at all in beds. Interesting looking brownish purple and considered a weed by most. |

I see several in my own neighborhood. Watch out! It can grow into a very large shrub -- to 15 feet tall and almost as wide -- and crowd out your rose. -- David E.

IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2aafqf5.jpg[/IMG] TIA HB yes. its definantly Dodonea viscosa 'Purpurea' , it makes a beautiful bushy evergreen shrub and has large reddish purple seed pods. It grows very well down here In Cornwall uk, as its incredibly salt tolerant but its main attribute is its resistance to drought, so Ideal in a tub. it seems to be hardy down to -4 celcius and benefits from spring pruning. I grow alot from seed and I would imagine this is how you got yours. best wishes, Lannerman Thanks, Lannerman -- but I didn't plant it. It just volunteered one day, and as I wrote earlier, the foliage was so attractive that I thought I'd let it grow for a while. With all the good input from the NG, I am definitely going to nurture it. Tx to all HB -- lannerman |
