RE: Cephalaria gigantea


Connie, do you meaning it is seeding around?  Or the plant has gotten too
big?  Well, it IS a big plant.  Try root pruning or dividing every 3 years
or so.  I have kept my clump the same size for many years by dividing it and
putting back a smaller piece.

While I like this plant it has 'adapted'far better than I had
envisioned,even here where its planted in a less than desireable
spot..Please anyone with suggestion would appreciate your input.
