My husband comes from Kentucky and the bush is known as the Bubby Bush. We now live in Florida, can the bush survive here?
The flowers on the bush are a Maroon color, and the perfume is out of this world. I come from England and I have never smelt ot seen anything like it!
I have tried to get the plant at the stores and I cannot find it, can someone help me?
I hope someone can help me.
Thank you,
Chrissie
I don't know how it will do that far south, but it's also easy to grow from seed. You might want to hit the exchange forum. Several people should have it. I just sent out the last of my seeds this morning.
I picked on up last spring at our local farmer's market for $3 in a gallon pot. Not sure if you have one where you live, I have had very good luck finding interesting plants at the market here (Gaston County)
Its also called sweet betsey bush. If you post on here someone might have it. Thats how i got mine. It did take me a while to find it. Its an old fashioned plant. Its also called carolina allspice and its a protected plant here in NC. hope that helps.
