I've had it for about 6 years now and while it has formed a nice clump it

not "run." I do understand the problem with the species and I've battled
them too, but 'Fireworks' is not a thug. And it is glorious in bloom, quite
unlike any of the species I'm familiar with. >>
OK Bill, I will try to locate a pic of "Fireworks". If some of our best
members grow this, there must something to it. The natives sneak into phlox
clumps, tall campaula clumps and similar. One day you look at the clump and
say to yourself, that is not a phlox or whatever and the damn thing causes
you dig up the garden plant to get rid of it. My mother, not of American
heritage, put them in vases and admired them. Friends coming to the house
would be aghast. Some are actually quite fragrant but all are strong and can
produce a new plant from a fragment of a root.
