No I don't do anything to the Gageana. I didn't even know its name until this summer. I did some work for a nursery that closed down in exchange for some pots and dirt. These were in one of the pots and I have pulled several out and given them away. The pot is a 20 gallon and it sits on the top of the ground.
Those things pup like crazy.
Last fall I mulched one of my dayliliy beds with shredded newspaper and pine needles on top. It really enriched the soil there.
I was planning on laying the sheets of newspaper whole on the EE's and then topping it with leaves and pine needles. The shredded newspaper seems to draw more earthworms and they help.
This is a shot of the bed when the phlox had started blooming, it seems they really did well this year.
