Re:thugs

It seems everyone has their favorite thugs. I shipped boxes of H. fulva to a
friend in New Jersey last year to fill an area where nothing else would
grow. She happened to call on a Sunday when I was ripping it out with great
gusto. Who knew someone might want it?

I had the complementary Aegopodium  in the yard as well, but with constant
vigilance for a few years it disappeared, unlike Creeping Charlie which is
my personal bane.

With all the recent talk about Campanula, I now have another problem. A
friend mentioned Campanula rapunculoides (creeping bellflower) as one of the
most horrendous weeds with underground rhizomes, and when I looked it up, I
realized it looks identical to a plant growing under my lilacs, and also is
indistinguishable, as far as I can tell, from what I thought was Adenophora
confusa, purchased from WFF a few years ago. What worries me is the A.
confusa has exploded in growth in the last few years. Does anyone have any
experience or advice about these plants?
