I bought a 10-inch plant last fall from Almost Eden Plants here in Louisiana. It has grown to 15 inches this June and is setting buds now. I started collecting double syriacus varieties of all colors 3 years ago. Many gardeners have sent me cuttings of pinks, reds, lavenders, blended colors & some with variegated leaves. Most are "named" varieties. It all started with a family heirloom one, 'Lucy,' I've had 8 years. Several will have 1st blooms this summer, so it will be very exciting and rewarding.
