Limelight placement

17 years ago

I have put a limelight in a corner of my picket fence in sun. She was there for about 2 or 3 yrs; I pulled her back early this spring but I am still uncertain about the placement. My picket is pulled back from the sidewalk about 1 1/2 feet with plantings there, but people have still cut her flowers off. She is already about 3' x 3' and I have maybe 1 more foot on either side of the picket itself for spread. I am reconstructing the bed she is in, so I still have time to make that side come into the yard more, but not by much, and i want leg plantings for her -- I have catnip behind her by the fence. Also, this shrub has one main stem only but is not a grafted tree form, plus it bends to one side. I want to maintain that look -- will it send up "suckers" as time goes by?

I am getting very frustrated by this -- she was very difficult to move back. I am about ready to place her in the middle of that bed in front of the yard -- then at least I don't have to worry about the next door neighbors cutting her up.
