This is a spectacular wild shrub that favors the margins between my garden and a nearby alder bottom. It likes a little more shade than another commoner, the serviceberry, but grows in about the same soil. One sopalillie here is 8 feet wide and tall. It is easily the most spectacular plant on my property (including my several garden beds and orchards) in early march, when it is covered in new leaves that are a rich cinnamon brown and highly felted. I'm curious if anyone here has tried planting one in an actual garden where the soil is going to be richer. My best bet of course, is to find a small "start" underneath the big shrub. Barring that, i may try to layer root a branch. Does anyone here have any experience with sopalillie in a garden setting?
