Re: ? re: Artemesia

Pam: Is it an aggressive spreader? Or is it controllable? Would I be
better off putting it in pots and containing it right from the start if
I don't want a mess? I take it this plant spreads by runners not by
seeding? The place I want to put it, near a large sedum "Autumn Joy" has
plenty of empty space, but there would be plants within a few feet that
I'd not want to see lost, one miniature sedum in particular.

Oh yes my dear, it does spread - even in gumbo clay. I like it though!
Can send you some if you like.<br><br>Pam Evans<br>Kemp, TX<br>zone

Artemesia &quot;Oriental Limelight&quot;<br><br>&gt; Well, I went to the
charity plant sale and didn't find too much that I<br>&gt; didn't
already have. Spent $21 and bought 5 beautiful gallon pots of an<br>&gt;
unknown culitvar of Solomon's Seal...they'll look lovely with my
hostas<br>&gt; and I can't wait to get them planted. Bought some
gypsophilia because<br>&gt; who doesn't always need more of that? :-) I
found two little pots of<br>&gt; Artemesia Oriental Limelight and I know
we've mentioned that plant on<br>&gt; the list here in the past few days
but I couldn't remember the specific<br>&gt; comments. A quick search on
line revealed that this plant can be quite<br>&gt; invasive...??? Help!
That is the last thing I need.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Marge--one of
the hits I got was a posting of yours at Suite101 or<br>&gt; something,
so obviously you have experience with this plant. What<br>&gt;
recommendations do you have, if any?<br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Anybody
else with comments/suggestions on this plant? I'm determined not<br>&gt;
to repeat my mistake with the last invasive species I
planted...I'm<br>&gt; still paying for that one.<br>&gt; <br>&gt;
