Isn't it weird what works and what doesn't? I have to keep beating Honorine back. I grow her with pushy plants and she tends to move into any space. Robustissima must be tough becuase it just appeared in my yard. And it placed itself beautifully. Right in the middle of the bed. I have to keep tearing it out. Pic 1

What's really funny is that I ordered cammasia quamash and was sent ornigothalem nutans - a very pushy plant. But lovely. I've spread it to FOUR places. And they tend to bully my thalictrum, which I have to keep digging up and moving around. Pic 2

But what a beautiful combo! Pic 3

Poor thalictrum ! Pic 4
