Re: grapeleaf anemone

Don't know if it will survive indoor, Donna, but it gets pretty large. Here's a not-very-good picture of the 8-year-old mother tree.

If you want to try some seedlings, I'll dig them and send them to you--or send you seeds next spring [it flowers in winter].

anything tropical is big bucks... would they survive

Well, I know I said I've been able to do more, but

the Grapeleaf

Anemone (Anemone tomentosa - no longer using the

'Robustissima' or

var. robustissima name) is a tough adversary.  I'm

taking a short

break from digging out 2/3 of the stand.  This

year it took over the

path to the spigot on its right and half the bed

to its left.

Previously it had grown under the rocks that had

been buried 4 inches

down to keep it from escaping to the lawn and came

out the other side.

 This year I'm forced to take radical action.  But

it means digging

out the rocks to get at the roots and trying to

get all the stolons,

rhizomes, whatever they're called.  Hot work. Came

in for water and

sunscreen.
