Re: The salvia that ate my garden

I grew that one and it did the same thing. After about 6 years, it burned itself out....

Too bad as it is a really good woody groundcover...

Just out pruning and stopped to pull a salvia lanceolata out of the
neighboring dwarf mandarin trees.  After just a few years, this
"touch and root" salvia has reached about 9' in diameter.  Will it
ever stop?
