I'm leaning toward the Jane.

Also bought a rhododendron and now I have nowhere to plant it where it'll just get am sun. Ugh.




I just sold 5 multi-stem Redbuds yesterday to a client! I love them!!!! They are so beautiful this time of year. And I LOVE their leaves. I'd go with the Redbud only because the flowers last longer!!

Rhoddies can be put anywhere with filtered afternoon sun! Just make sure they get acidic, well drained soil!!! They don't like their feet wet at all!!! I call them my annuals!!!
