Sundownr's Plant List

A note from Sundownr
We have a small shady 1/2 acre lot of sandy/clay soil in zone 6a. The few areas of full day sun are dedicated to herbs, veggies, and a few fruiting shrubs.

Prolific, hardy, and stubborn. They make a nice tall hedge if planted closely together and a striking presence in the snow. I have grown them in shade and full sun. Mine seem to do best in partial shade. Great success with cuttings.

The area has become too shady for this shrub. I'll be relocating it this spring and will take cuttings. Good success with cuttings.
