The texensis are so easy to layer. It makes it addictive to do it in spring.

My gypsophila got so huge I had no choice but to cut them back. I think the two or three plants at Queen Elizabeth rose, which blocked the path, had to be 5' x 5'. Ours were also grown from seed by my husband.

Your photo is of the crambe? It's lovely. How tall? What month does it bloom best? I never measured the height on BB but would guess 3'. The deer leave it alone so I love it twice as much.
