Hi Ginny,
As a bog-ignorant gardener with empty space galore, your aconites sound
like my cup of tea ! Unfortunately I missed or deleted the start of this
thread. Which of the aconites is it that is the take-over merchant, and is
it a spring flowering or autumn flowering type ?

: Dear Helen,
:
: The aconites were here when we moved in 7 years ago. Unfortunately they
: were in an area that I wanted to turn into a shade garden. I thought
that I
: could simply dig out these little bulbs and that would be that. Well, I
: decided that I would till the area and rake them out. What I ended up
doing
: was cutting the little buggers into who knows how many pieces--and they
: loved it!! They also seed prolifically. They are in an area of
deciduous
: shade. Full sun until the trees leaf out and then only morning sun.
: Average moisture, but soil is amended regularly with compost and then
: mulched.
: : I can't eradicate these. They are pretty now, but will choke out other
more
: desirable plants. Write me directly for more.
