You didn't say where you live but here in zone 7, they struggle a bit if they are in the western sun.<br />Where are you located and where are your goldens crsiping? Do they have western exposure?Molly Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728709915410641970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23439295647377206.post-65474969473529525142015-09-05T07:39:28.431-07:002015-09-05T07:39:28.431-07:00I have many of these in my new home, both the purp...I have many of these in my new home, both the purple and the golden. In my former home I would cut the purples back (haven't tried the goldens yet) to about 2' when dormant and the leaves get bigger and plant more vigorous the next year. Have noticed some crisping of the goldens in the sun, but they are young and we have had a high record heat this year (2015) here in Washington. Will see how they do next year. Some have turned the most beautiful color of scarlet in the fall, looking forward to seeing what these new plantings do this year. Highly recommend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23439295647377206.post-49243842758508236572013-01-04T14:23:47.612-08:002013-01-04T14:23:47.612-08:00I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if I fou...I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if I found myself planting a few of these in my yard, they hold such majesty in the backyard!<br /><br />-Samudaworth Tree ServiceTree Removal Brooklynhttp://www.samudaworthtreeservice.com/tree-removal/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23439295647377206.post-41073058000363736862012-08-24T08:12:55.757-07:002012-08-24T08:12:55.757-07:00I absolutely love smoke bushes.
