Re: Brr it's cold and now transplanting

I bought one plant of the Artemisia 'oriental limelight' a couple of years
ago and now have several coming up all over... but I love invasives here in
the hotter than hell summers.... they live and even thrive rather than faint
and die.  I should tell you too that they spread by rhizomes ...  but I
still love them... a little color in a dark spot. that I can even share with
friends.
