Over 10 years ago, a my former next door neighbor in Kentucky gave me nine plants from her hotounniya. It has taken this long to get to a beautiful, thriving bed. It is spreading, but with a little thinning out every year has turned into a lush and beautiful area which changes colors throughout the seasons.

I do plan to clear it out of the arbor this summer and move it to the right (not in photo) where it is much thinner.

On the DG plant files, it has mixed reviews. For now I'll keep it - and enjoy it's beauty. If it becomes a problem I suppose there's always Roundup.
