Brian,

Thank you so much for the terrific info. Will be a great help to me. I am bad at not fertilizing. I have little patience for 12 different fert schedules for 20 different types of plants, e.g. 1/4 tsp per gal every two weeks, 1/8 tsp per gal every week, 1/2 tsp per gal every 4 four weeks, etc. I need to do a "one-size fits all" schedule or it's just not going to happen.

jordankittyjo,

The Passi is growing on a trellis at the end of her raised front deck. The bed is in morning shade, full afternoon sun. I mulched around it. We did not dig this one up. Except for the fact that it's not blooming now, it looks just like it did all summer. Here's a photo from early last summer. It actually grew to about three times this size by summer's end. This is a west/south facing corner.
