Posted by tabbycat (Youngsville, LA - Zone 9b) on Jun 19, 2018 9:57 PM A generous gardener sent me about 5 cuttings last year to try to root. Three did and are now healthy, growing 7-inch plants. They are part of the double syriacus collection I started 3 years ago. I hope to see the beautiful double pink flower this summer on at least one of them. [ Reply to this comment | |
