Hi everyone,
last year I moved from my old house where I waged war with pink spiderwort. Although I thought it was pretty, it was so invasive I was always pulling it out and throwing it away and it always came back again and again.
When I moved to my new house I took some of my perennials but no spiderwort. I joked I had to move to get rid of it.
I planted a beautiful flower bed across the front of my house last fall and what did I see growing in my new garden this spring but pink spiderwort. A huge clump of it, I think it hitched a ride with my antique rose.
Now I have dug up the whole clump and put in an old enameled pot. I also dug up all the dirt in the area and sifted for roots. Do you think I tamed it? Me either. :)
What's your opinion friend or foe?
P.S. I was also crazy enough to take a clump of blue and gold spiderwort from my sister-in-law and put that in a different pot!
