So, Bill, what's A. nudicaulis like? Do you like it? If so or
not...why? Is it attractive - does it spread fast? I've seen pix on
the web, but it's hard to get a true feel for what it would be like
in the garden. Is it worth trying to grow?
I have read that A. cordata is quite similar to A. racemosa. What
kind of conditions was yours growing in? Deer got inside my fence
when the tree took part of it down a few weeks ago - did not touch my
A. cordata, while stripping the hydrangeas next to it of foliage and
turning my new hostas into stalks.
