A mollis, I cut off the flowerheads, must have missed some but it can't have been many as I was at it each day. It even spread into the lawn and different parts of the garden. It just loved it here.
All hypercicum? Was rather taken by that one with very cupped flowers on GW last week, not that i have a spot for it!
Wild dasies/ moon dasies? Those large ones that come as "wild flower seed" they grow in almost total shade, drought, winter, they are the terminator of the plant world!
Hi Bekkie, I have an hypericum, it is the bush variety and it doesnt spread. it has the same beautiful yellow flowers. The variety is Kouytchende (or at least I think thats how its spelt). I find it very each to keep in check I just cut it back in the spring and away it goes.
I have a campanula thats spreads a bit its called silver bells but it is so attractive and it flowers all through the summer that its worth the little bit of extra work. Someone on here, I think it was Verdun, said that if the pleasure it gives outweighs the work its worth keeping. In this case it is.
Hi Bekkie are you talking about the bush lavatera. I have grown these in most of the houses I have owned and they have never spread. I know there are other types. I had been thinking about evening primrose but thanks for the warning. The problem I suspect is that I have great soil here and whatever I plant generally does well (except plants that specifically like poorer soil) thats why things like japanese anenomes go beserk.
