It's a piece I took from the home where I grew up nearby in the Willamette Valley-we always called it "the bridal veil bush". It's so nice to have some little bits of home growing in the garden:) You’re right about the PNW-I live in the Northern Oregon hills near the coast and It still has it’s leaves.

Now it has grown into a big, important member of the garden community here. I hope for the best with yours, and thanks for your visit. @John: Mine was a bore until it got settled in, like so many things; definitely wasn’t thrilling the first year or so, maybe even two (I started with a small plant).

So far we are not impressed. Yes, they stayed green for a long time but when the time came for fall color the leaves just sort of frizzeled and fell off. We'll give it another year to be a primetime player, but it's in a nice spot and there are other plants that would like a chance to strut their stuff...
