Those would have to be relegated to the front of the driveway, or maybe the southeast corner of the house. Will they do well in partial sun? They will be more sparse, but yes they do flower in some shade. One which came up from seed is now 8 feet tall and it is flowering under the Paulownia. It's in the ground, not a container. I've seen people flank their driveway with these and they just keep them pruned neatly. They do need shaping every year and tend to have a lot of waterspout growth. You do know what that is, right? If not, I can explain it. Could not find a definition on google, but I presume that is excessive top branching? I'm always up for an education. The term "waterspout" when used to describe a type of growth on a plant, tree or shrub is describing a branch growing up in the center of the branch and usually is found in the center of the plant. These shoots which grow upward on branches need to be removed, usually. They are mostly never going to flower and it puts a strain on the plant with added weight. Was that a good description? |
