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.
I'm with your mother, Claire. I like any kind of goldenrod in a vase. You
should see my asparagus patch when it blooms in the fall! It's about half
goldenrod, native, and of course as you've said it can't really be eradicated
very easily. And I don't want to disturb the asparagus roots. I will warn
you that I don't have 'Fireworks' in good garden soil; I don't know what it
will do if you make it too comfortable.
