Likes it hot and dry, with lean soil. And take it from one who knows, don't let any garden helpers mistake it for a thistle! If it is happy it will seed about..... leave them be, you'll be glad to have a backup brigade! Happy Mother's Day dearheart.

I especially like the burgundy - yellow combination under your pear tree, that's one of my favorites. <br /><br />I disagree with the running down of Bishop's Weed too, I haven't found it to spread beyond the place I planted it, and it is so refreshingly crisp and carefree. I even tried cooking some and found it quite palatable, though now since it is spring it may get tougher later? <br /><br />I can't believe this weather either, the weeds are growing like crazy. But I don't see any in your photos.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-67315327276464448802013-05-06T14:09:43.587-07:002013-05-06T14:09:43.587-07:00Well send that heat east lady!

Plants are coming up here. But it will be awhile until we have many blooms. Daffs and prairie smoke are what is in bloom now. Magnolia is all budded out. Just planted that one.

I bought Morina longifolia last year about this time and planted it in my gravel garden in more or less full sun. I think I may have watered it a little over the summer. It survived the winter here just fine, without any special intervention. I haven't seen it flower yet.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-62748086307307183332013-05-05T21:01:58.580-07:002013-05-05T21:01:58.580-07:00It has been so nice!
