Although ideally it prefers different soil than what you have, it's been my experience that this native shrub does fine in limey clay soil, especially is the area is amended with some peat moss before planting. No fruit, but nice spring flowers (fragrant) and a beautiful fall display. Lots of cultivar... 'Mt. Airy' is excellent. |
