| Lioba - West Fulton, NY (Zone 5a) | On May 11, 2017 | Obtained plant Dug up a clump that grew where I didn't want it. First I put it in a tire and the rabbits loved it. I took out what survived and put it at the edge of my shade garden by the road. It gets afternoon sun as it is setting. My cat guards that area so the plants are safe. Now they are spreading. |
