The Red Dragon has not reseed but the clup is bigger every year. I think it is very well behaved in the garden. It freezes to the ground every year.
Karen, WOW what a beautiful flower arrangement!!
Jo Ann looks like the clem is making nice progress on the trellis.

You can easily prune 'Red Dragon' to the size you like. If it gets too big, I rip some out.

My butterfly bushes are getting so big and these are the ones from last year. There is blue, violet and red. The coneflowers (eastern Purple) are starting to bloom. I divided it for the first time and the big clump ended up in the shade because my new tree is producing fabulous shade. Got to move it or one of the butterfly bushes. My baby bananna tree is big enough to plant out in the garden!
Hurray!

I think it was 6 or 8 feet. A friend gave me one of her babies and I will have to check with her. Do you see that now mine has a baby?? Look close at the bottom right side. Green Grin! Thumb of 2012-06-03/virginiarose/bb61f3

I dont think this is Husker red. Its taller than the other 3 plants from Bluestone and blooms are pinker.

NOID on this hosta given 5 years ago. I took a quarter chunk this spring.

The Hosta and the red flowers really show off each other, great contrast. Green Grin!

It really is special.
