Need to move or toss a 6 year old Polish Spirit. Advice !

12 years ago

I have had a Polish Spirit for 6 years and it has not bloomed although it gets lots of green leaves. I am going to either move it or toss it and get something else.I already have Etoile Violette which blooms beautifully and I have been told Polish Spirit is similiar.It's hard for me to make this decision as I know there are so many beautiful newer varities but yet this would have a really big root system and might take off in another location.

What is your opinion ?

Are you cutting it back to about a foot tall every year?

My Polish Spirit blooms longer and more than my Etoile Violette. I prefer it.

Well, maybe I should move it and give it another chance. It's been cut almost to the ground every year so possibly it is the location.
Thanks. Lois

I've read on one of these forums that PS is one that likes a lot of sun. Mine is in half shade, and hasn't bloomed once in about 5 years, though one of the texansis hybrids next to it blooms and a Ville de Lyon also close by blooms profusely. I am planning to move mine when I've found a good spot for it and put a more shade-tolerant plant in its place.

Mine is growing up a crabapple tree so doesn't get full sun but did grow to the sunnier side.
