I know. Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair, does it. I planted a root of Joe Pye in late Spring and it shot up to 6 ft, tall in one growing season, bloomed like crazy and has the million seeds. It will probably come up everywhere next year because I'm always covered with the seeds on my clothes and spreading them everywhere. I've never grown it from seeds though. We'll see what happens. I suppose they don't call it Joe Pye WEED for nothing.
The anemones are beautiful!
