It was my understanding that dogwoods are relatively easy to maintain. I believe it's also our state tree. So am somewhat annoyed especially when I see so many flourishing.
Is the lilac tree also known as the butterfly bush or is it different. Does it have the lilac fragrance? If so, I am going to have to find one. I love the lilac fragrance. I thought I saw a pic of your garden somewhere. It looked pretty nice. Set up as a "getaway" of sorts? That's what I've been trying to do here. I've got bushes and flowers in the yard but would like something a little cozier (read: easier to take care of) around the outdoor table. Am probably going to do more container gardening this time.
