Re: Artemesia 'Limelight' NOW Mugwort

Well, Zem, there are lots of plants who are a menace in some gardens
and can hardly be kept alive in others.  I had a lady in the PNW
write to me once about Arum italicum taking over her garden.  Could
hardly believe it, but the folks on Aroid-L confirmed that it can be
aggressive in the PNW, whereas most of us only wish it would grow
faster:-)

Mugwort is a thug - travels underground via strong white roots, any
tiny bit of which will grow a new plant.  That's why I'm keeping my
eye on 'Limelight' as it is the same species:-)
