We seeded rose off sharon have 20 plants now 2 inches highmwhat to do now can we plant them in the gareden and they are ok to overwinter,or have to keep them in the house till next spring ???
We live in Ontario.
I have 3 rose of sharon plants. They are about 8 years old. They seeded prolifically last year, and this year I have so many seedlings that I am now considering this plant to be a weed! Any advice on how to limit the proliferation? They are in my lawn, coming through all of my groundcovers…
I have resorted to spraying them with roundup, but they are pretty resilient, and only the groundcover dies back. Help! I planted them originally for my husband, his mom loved them. I’m now threatening to dig them up!
Emmy,
When the flowers of your rose of sharon are done blooming, deadhead them. This will nip seed production in the bud and eliminate all those rose of sharon seedlings.
