sbryant’s Question
Posted by sharon bryant | October 4, 2016At your recent Landscaping Workshop in Tacoma, you suggested my husband and I plant "Rainbow bushes" for our problem area (mostly shade but lots of late afternoon sun off the water). We love this idea but can't find "Rainbow bushes". Please give me more names for Rainbow bush. Thanks! Loved your workshop.

Posted by eileen morello | September 26, 2016I've had my houseplants outside all summer and I want to spray them before bringing them in. Problem is I have animals and birds, and don't want to poison them. Also, I have aphids on my Purple Passions. I've been rinsing them off but they have come back.
