Actually yes, we have a HUGE mole problem. I never even thought of that! Now that you mention it, the other day when I was watering I noticed a hole near my foundation right between my coreopsis and my columbine - all of the water was running into it. Now that the coreopsis is almost totally dead I wonder if he'll move on to my other flowers. Any suggestions on keeping them out of a specific area? There's no way we can afford a grub prevention on our entire lawn - it's quite large.

I have always found their reseeding to be charming. I wouldn't call them aggressive at all, and if a few plants show up where you don't want them, they are an easy to remove annual. Tangential: Like Gardengal, reserve the term "invasive" for actual listed plants rather than "garden pests"." Although, simply being native to North America doesn't automatically make something non-invasive. For example, something that is native to the East Coast can become invasive on the west coast where it isn't native, and vice versa.

Yeah I had same experience with a red kind, never came back. I figured since I live literly 8 minutes from Mt. Cuba I would give it a try. I have been looking for something that color with a long bloom period. My daughter showed me some pictures of it in there display gardens and it was beautiful wedge in between other plants. Guess ill have to wait and start looking online in early

dig a hole next to it.. AND FIND OUT whether there is enough moisture.. change watering if too wet.. or too dry ... we need to know about soil moisture where the roots are.. not at the surface..ergo.. dig with a hand trowel or tablespoon ... where are you.. big city name ... whats the weather been like since planting ... for me.. in my MI.. this is a die to the ground perennial... and this time of year.. they get real ugly looking as they..wait for it.. die to the ground ... look into the base of the plant..and do you see what will grow next spring??? make sure that part is at soil level.. and not buried too deep ... call your installer.. and ask them what they think.. and let us know what they say ... ken
