Re: was swamp rose/now Summer Poinsettia

Sure I LOVE it.  Being a native it does very well in our soils, climate, 
etc........just too well in good soil.  It has reseeded so badly, that I literally 
am pulling them out of every flowerpot, crack in the walkway, lawn, even the 
gutters, etc. etc.  Wrote into both the Master Naturalist and MG plant swap 
lists to have them come and get these plants.  I can't see the other 
plants!!!!!!!
Love the pink Salvia too, especially the hummingbirds that will choose it 
over the feeders....but when you can't see the Hibiscus or other plants because 
the Poinsettia and Salvia have taken over, then it's time to THIN OUT.  
Another problem child, the Jewel of Opar.....and let's not forget the Ruellia 
from Hellia.
