I have one leaf on it this year that must be at least 16" across. I'm really loving that leaf.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-50230653334595884852010-05-16T19:12:25.952-07:002010-05-16T19:12:25.952-07:00Laura, dang I wish I would have found out what the...Laura, dang I wish I would have found out what they were!<br /><br />Grace, ya...the tape killed me too.

How dare they? I bet there was some good stuff in there! <br /><br />In my experience, Monarda has never been invasive because my soil dries out so completely during the summer. I think if it were planted by water, maybe. And, Monarda never survives my transplanting. It might not be spiky-dangerous but in my opinion, it's definitely belongs in the Danger Garden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-30017077220360178192010-05-13T10:02:41.277-07:002010-05-13T10:02:41.277-07:00That is a great trough!

This is the first that I've seen E. rigida labeled as 8, usually it's called 7...maybe they were just playing it safe? <br /><br />Evelyn, me too! So glad to finally have one!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-82375807279891517822010-05-13T05:05:19.291-07:002010-05-13T05:05:19.291-07:00Euphorbia rigida - what a lovely plant, love those...Euphorbia rigida - what a lovely plant, love those colours.

I don't believe I've ever seen the word "charming" used in the same sentence as "horsetails" before... you wouldn't say it if you knew their evil nature! Looks like a fun visit. Hey, if the E. rigida is only hardy to Zone 8, will it take the "new" winters? Bee balm always dies out for me too. Is it maybe a biennial anyway? Mine gets mildewy too, but maybe there are resistant varieties. I am trying to make the hummers and butterflies happy this summer so I need to try again. Nice that you got in and out of the sale fast, that always feels like an accomplishment!Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
