Speedie---

I have had AK Daisies growing for at least 3 years. Mine don't sound or look anything like your
description. They were so non-descript, that I am planning to dig them up. I already have cut them back
to the base.
Oof course--there is an obvious reason for their lack of thriving. Mine are growing in the corner of my "YUK" bed.
"YUK" means this bed is matted with Maple roots, I can barely dig in it, and plants have to share space,
sun and nutrients--on all of which the tree gets 1st dibs.
Honestly--they are in a bad spot--not enough sun. Shaded by a Butterfly bush, Shasta Daisies and my neighbor's
6' fence....
I will dig all the clumps up and share some. Some--I will plant in my neighbor's bed--as she does not do any gardening....
Your garden is MY garden----that is how it is between our gardens.

I have had some remnants of blue Platycodon trying to grow every year. It is, kind of, buried among a lot of Irises.
To my knowledge--they have never self-seeded...Hmmmm........
I have seen these in other people's beds. Just beautiful!

I will have some of David's Campanula "Elizabeth" to share--as they have seeded all over the rim of the pot.
Will pot them up and share at work as well. Susan--who has that big house and property in VA will take some.
I am sure David and Pat will also have plenty.

1--I have starts of a perennial geranium also. have to go out and take a picture. I do not know the name of this one.
Hold on.................I have a few pots potted up. They are not exactly growing....but this plant is very low to the ground.
2--This Geranium is right next to the other. This one spreads like a weed. can you tell?
Name?? How would one propagate this one???? The runners are 2' or so.
