Getting to Know: Winecraft Gold Smokebush - Summer 2024
On a walk around the formal garden at the Morton Arboretum (the one behind the visitor center), we spotted this chartreuse shrub that was LITERALLY standing out. It called to be looked-at. And, that's what we did - wandering over and having a look. I snapped this photo below - showing the bright shrub amongst some white Goatsbeard (or something similar): I filed it away. Interesting shrub. Then, on a recent trip to The Growing Place, I came across the very shrub - 3# containers for $50. See below: This is something I could use in a few spots - in full sun. Note to self: See if they survive until the end-of-the-season sales.
