Thanks Polly and Neal for a great forum. I purchased many shrubs to plant this fall. I have silvery texas sage, butterfly bushes, Euonymus kiautschovious 'Manhattan', Gardenia jasmiroides 'Frost Proof', Itea virginica 'Henry Garnet', Weigela florida 'Rosea' and 'Variegated', Spiraea japonica 'Neon Flash', Loropetalum 'Plum', Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki' dappled willow, Double delight hydrangeas 'Pink Expression' and 'Perfection', Hydrangea 'Romance', Crape Myrtles, Azaleas, Tecoma Stan Yellow Bells, Lespedeza 'Spring Grove', Willow Corkscrew 'Dragon Claw', Abelia x grandiflorida, and Spiraea x bumalda 'Anthony Waterer'. Whew! I have a lot of work coming in the fall. Made myself tired just listing them. I'm glad my daughter has 10 acres.
If they survive me I will post pics as they grow. I'm sure I will have lots of questions.
