Lavendar Star - Grewia Occidentallis

[floribunda]

Fredman - this is it. As you can see it is off and running, but because I have had it inside the new shoot is "leggy" and needs toughening up. I thought I would introduce it to outside on a mild day, let it flower and then trim it. What do you think?

Yeah its sure is a toughie. No heat or cold scares it.. except freezing of course
Get a few of them and plant them as a grouping in the garden. They attract birds and insects from far and wide. Covered with them beautiful flowers all summer long. Very striking bush indeed.
They tend to grow that leggy when outside to. I wont bother introducing it. It will flourish in the sun from day one...
