RE: Re: 'Gerald Darby': Seeds, Descriptions, Nomenclature

 

Ditto here too with the old yellow pseudacorus.  It's been dug from all beds now, and plunked in one spot to hold the back side of my pond hill.  The rest are in pots that get put in the pond each spring.  They get deadheaded for sure these days.  I still get seedlings coming up in the old bed, and it hasn't been there for at least 5 years.
 
P. Bastardi doesn't seem to self sow all over the place though.

And how about in garden where you got plants?

These plants quickly form large clumps, and  I always find some flower stalks hidden under foliage. 

I've had to trash some clumps of pseudacorous  because of this problem. that is seedlings growning up and contaminating cultivar clumps.

Just so you know, that's not what happened here. I had three clumps, planted them in sales rows, catalogued them, put tags directly in front of and under them, took pictures of the rows, and deadheaded religiously. Plus I straw mulched around the plants, and I would be able to tell if it was seedlings or not from the way they were mulched. Anyway, not seedlings.

I bet your pond is beautiful, Dennis!
