Q:
Does this shrub spread by roots or sucker?
Asked by:
Native plant enthusiast
- 1/26/2020
A:
No. It spreads from seed. Its seed pods crack open with enough force to propel the seeds away from the plant. So, it does have potential to spread some, but only if the seeds land in a spot where they can germinate. Also, male and female flowers occur on different plants; if you only have one plant (male or female doesn't matter) it won't be able to form viable seeds.

Q:
How tall will it get the first season? Does it completely die back at the end of the season?
Asked by:

- 8/24/2021
A:
It should grow at least several inches in a season. It loses all of its foliage over winter, but it does not die back to the ground. Last season's branches will grow new leaves in the spring.

It will not do well in full shade. Some other options would be leatherwood, wild hydrangea, strawberry bush, and spicebush.
