I have clay, acidic soil, which may or may not help inhibit growth of various plants.

My gooseneck loosestrife is well behaved. Sure it spreads, but slowly and I have it in a rock wall where it will be tough for it to become invasive.

Husker Red and Bachelor's buttons have only had volunteers this year - I've had them for 4 years so I'm unsure why the change. Both of these have always put on a really nice display. Granted, the Husker Red is more for foliage, but the seed heads are part of the show too

Two years ago geraniums were everywhere, but not last year and I don't seem to have that problem this year so far.

I have to plant Morning glories every year if I want any. I can't get Rose Campion to survive winter, so have given up on it.

This is how my Husker Red looks most of the time (after flowering of course) - I can't complain about performance!
