Re: runner plants

Marge,
I yanked the fernleaf tansy after a few years. It never flowered, which
wasn't a big deal, but those darn runners. I don't have a big enough
property to give it the space it wants. However, if I did, it was quite
nice looking, as I recall. It's been years since I ripped it out.

a great foliage plant and have seen pix that seem to indicate it is
ever so much nicer than the species.  So, Kitty, how do you rate it
from a foliage standpoint?

If you have weeds, you don't have enough plants.
