Hi All,
I was given this plant and something about the look of it made me think "thug". So I looked it up and found this thread from a while back.
Does anyone have anything to add? Could I line a pot with membrane and sink it in the ground? It's very nice and gets sulphur yellow flowers later in the year but I have enough trouble without trying to dig this up for the rest of my nelly.
Thanks.

Hi. It is a thug and I thought I had got rid of it but it appeared again this spring. Smells of bitter oranges - quite nice really.
Mmmmm. I have a lot of ground to cover but I don't want it covered at the expense of everything else. I'll give some thought to devising a container to...well...contain it. If there's loads of other stuff growing round it you'll not see the container anyway.
Thanks for your input. It's definitely not going in the ground.
Will do Verdun. I'm afraid even to put it in the pond just in case of rampantness. My pond is huge and I can't even get near the middle.
This one has screaming yellow flowers which came as a bit of a shock on the quite subtle cream and green tinged with pink. I'm talking YELLOW!
