Unexpected fall color on V. sieboldii

12 years ago

I planted two V. sieboldii in 1978. One died in the '88 drought. The other lives on, but has had a troubled life in a wooded area with considerable shade. The soil is well drained and this specimen isn't very drought tolerant. Nor is it tolerant of late freezes. It has suffered from those conditions every 3-5 years or so. It's clearly not well-suited for these conditions, but it has survived.

I don't recall ever seeing decent fall color on this plant. But, in this unusual autumn season, it's not looking too bad at all. I wonder if it'll ever repeat.

This photo was taken fairly early this morning.
