When we first moved here, their was already some Rose of Sharon`s and a old fashioned lilac bush here...and also a few irises here as well. the other rose of sharons I have, I have gotten over at my moms...she has them in her yard, white ones. I dug up a few young ones and a white has is one of those I dug up....in which the young little sprouts you never know what color you will get...until they bloom out....
This color irises were already here, I love irises , so have tried and picked up a couple of them each year. When I have in the past of course I didn't map out where I put them at...have just started doing that this year, not that I haven't had a map of my garden, but now am including the irises and other flowers as well..
Have also gotten some of my irises on clearance or along side of the road...and some I have paid full price for. Of course I wished now that I had put them in a certain place and wrote down the names of them....
I do have a lot of purple irises.
These mums I got a few years ago at a local store that was throwing them away, I just asked and they said they were throwing them away and I got some of them....and now just look at them....These are the same ones I took cuttings off of this year and rooted....
got 3 barberry shrubs last week for free
and some mature Rose of Sharons for free as well....
Well that about sums up where I get my plants at...I hope this helps someone out on where to start getting plants at for their home garden...by the way I love clearance plants, they may not look the best , but with some TLC they do come out of it , most of the time...especially those perennials....They come back looking better the next year.
