Good idea Shanbear,

I can plant that one too.

It sure is one beautiful plant. Love all those colors. I've planted my full amount this year already, but if one dies off during the winter I'll remember this one.

Thanks for the info'.

For this "New Year" help me to be kinder and more loving to all around me, I pray.

My plesure Rosepetal! I just love being able to plant something in our Zone 3! LOL My garden is full too this year but this is a must in my garden for spring!

As always, I love chatting with ya hun!

shan!

technically, it's my neighbors plant...poor thing never gets too big as it's over shadowed by the bush that's next to it.

my neighbor is an older gentleman - he's no longer capable of taking care of the lawn/gardens and his kids/grandkids aren't much help. they do the lawn and trim that one bush down a couple of times during the season...that's it.

i tend to pick up the slack...for his benefit as well as mine (the stuff in the backyard is totally overgrown with lovely things like virginia creeper and poison ivy and tons of other stuff...god knows how the forsythia survives!). i regularly cut back that area to keep the weeds in check.

he'd said i could take the plant. i'm going to move it into the bed in front in the fall.

i'd like to split it or root it - if that's possible and i did just take a cutting - or get seeds so that i can start a new one.

these aren't the best...still haven't gotten my camera fixed and these are from a one-use camera

i do believe it's the same family as yours, shan...just a different variety (the coloring of the leaves are not at all like the magic carpet).

When is the best time to prune Spirea? Sue
