Planting and Growing

This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It is an amazingly adaptable plant | tolerating both dry conditions and even some standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH | and is able to handle environmental salt. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This is a selection of a native North American species.
