Re: new jersey tea

John,
I have had new jersey tea transplanted several specimen plants into a native
wildflower garden for over ten years.  You should not have any problem
controlling it.  My experience is that it stays about where you plant it.
with a little additional water or TLC the stature of the plant does increase
somewhat but it certainly is not a problem.  I think you will find it quite
satisfactory.
