My wife and I had a number of lop-eared rabbits back in the 90's. After we lost our last few in 2001, I took the remaining alfalfa pellets(about 12 lbs.), and dumped them at the base of a freinds Rose of Sharon, that was looking poorly. That was the Fall of '01.
In the Spring of '02, the plant erupted in vegetative growth and blooms. It was explosive and had to be tied and cut back. Incredible.
