Try just a little next week and it will kill it off (too much retards the
ability to kill the plant).
Obedient plant has never been a pest for me ether-it will spread but nothing
a shovel can't handle. But then again I have had it growing in a shady
location with clay soil.
One plant that is spreading a little more than I had an impression that it
would has been the Nepeta sibrica, last year it bloomed for two months and
grew into a nice thick stand -- this spring my clump came up with
underground stems two feet away from were it was planted. In the right space
this is going to be a very showy plant-but not in the growing beds-especially
next to Lychinis 'Orange Gnome' and Penstemons.
This Catmint has good sized dark blue flowers, grows tall-three or more feet
and is more or less upright. A summer bloomer here when there is not a lot of
true blues around.
