I know that Voodoo hasn't quite wrapped up his latest POTW, but he asked me if I wouldn't mind posting one for Memorial Day weekend, so, without further ado...
Plant of the Week 60 is native to a large portion of the US, Mexico and even Cuba (zones 5-11). It is a medium to large wetland shrub species with unique blooms. Definitely not overly available in commerce, but well worth admiring in it's native haunts.
Typically a summer bloomer, I have seen shrubs of POTW 60 in bloom here in Memphis recently (although it feels A LOT like summer this past week -- temps in the mid 90s). It has a fairly long bloom time as it will produce flowers through most of the summer. Butterflies absolutely go crazy for POTW 60.
