Did you sprinkle lots of little starts around and let them fill in or is this a few massively prolific plants?


I planted a few and waited. Here's another sequence. There was a black locust tree that became hazardous and was removed (except for the trunk that became a table). So, originally these plants had a lot of high shade and they spread nicely. The tree was removed a year ago - I wish I'd done it 20 years ago. A whole other story, but now I don't have to cover the beds to keep tree debris out.
