I recently saw some snowberry plants in Nova Scotia. I live in Wisconsin (near Milwaukee) and am wondering if they will grow here and also whether they should be planted in spring or fall.
These will grow just fine in your area, perhaps even becoming invasive with neglect. These can be planted in either spring or fall, but fall would be the better option. They are more cold tolerant than heat tolerant, and will have more time to establish into the winter, rather than into the summer.
This article will give you more information on these shrubs: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/snowberry-bush/snowberry-bush-care.htm
London soil is neutral possibly a little acidic, in a southeast facing bed. What is a good choice and when should I plant it? Hi. Whole question - I want to replace an invasive large snowberry bush with something fast growing with flowers that bloom for as long as possible. London soil is neutral possibly a little acidic, in a southeast facing bed. My garden has a tropical feel with some cottage shrubs. I was thinking a rose maybe. What is a good choice of plant and when should I plant it? Many thanks!!
A shrub rose would be nice or a Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) blooms from mid-summer to fall. A butterfly bush (buddleia spp.) also would be a good choice. Hydrangeas are all the rage right now, too.
