However, it's hardy to zone 5, so it might still work for Northerners who have limey soil. I have acid soil, and blueberry bushes are often recommended as a substitute for burning bush where the soil is acidic. They grow wild on our acreage.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-16539567942814289672017-12-16T09:04:07.483-06:002017-12-16T09:04:07.483-06:00I noticed the fall color of Hypericum for the firs...I noticed the fall color of Hypericum for the first time this fall, and was completely blown away. It was incredibly vibrant! I usually tell folks to go for Itea instead of Burning bush, as they hold their leaves far longer - which in my opinion is somewhat of a flash-in-the-pan plant. It takes up space for most of the year, without giving much of any substance in return, and then - a week or two of bling. I had no idea Hydrangea quercifolia is a native - that is great information, which I thank you for!

It isn't pretty when it is suffocating a forest edge. Great post. I wish I could give it to my neighbor who I have tried to educate. :(Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-52895922567729494312017-12-15T20:26:24.222-06:002017-12-15T20:26:24.222-06:00Stunning for sure!
