Quote: I just figured out you meant SHRUB, not the SCRUB you said. lol! Anyways, Texas sage might be a good choice, or possibly ruellia brittonia. For a tree, china berry grows extremely rapidly, and of course there is also the moringa. For vines, grapes, passion fruit and arabian jasmine grow pretty rapidly,
thinking about Texas sage? I am going to check out ruellia brittonia & china berry. Sounds good.. I only have 1 out of 3 seeds growing from the
the seeds my D.H. brought home.. Dont want to use a trellis.. Although I do love the 3 grape vine we do have.
Thank you..
All too often the sage is sheared into box or sphere shapes by landscapers. It is FAR more attractive if left untrimmed, or pruned only to remove branches that are inconvenient, or to reduce size.
The brittonia form of ruellia can be a bit invasive, so be sure you want it where you plant it. For landscaping I prefer the katy form, as it is slower growing, and not nearly as tall. Both come in eihter purple, pink or white. I have no experience with the white; he purple is stronger than the pink, and if you have both, it will overtake and squeeze out the pink,
