I moved mine two years ago in the heat of Summer and it was so pathetic looking but two years later it's like a majestic tree. I need to give it a good hair cut this year but I'm going to wait until Fall. Such a great plant! <br /><br />Also, that penstemon is amazing! That's going on my wishlist for sure.bria Phillipsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-48594714348052818752012-06-03T07:42:44.574-07:002012-06-03T07:42:44.574-07:00I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing you p...I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing you post about changing your mind and moving things around.

As for the Tulip foliage...yes, it's always a bit annoying around this time of year, isn't it? Luckily, I somehow managed to plant just enough to get a show, but not enough to create a huge mess...by the time they are fading, the surround plants pretty much cover them up...wish I could say the same about my damn daffodils! I have a few bare spots right now as well...plants that, for whatever reason, were REALLY late coming up (like 2 freaking months later than usual), so the garden has these 2 or 3 black holes right now, sigh.

Just keep removing the suckers and the thing will starve to death. I've done that to some stubborn stumps and with a little patience it always works. If you're really eager for fast results, you could use Roundup on the suckers. (OK, I know, Roundup is evil, forget I mentioned it.)Jasonhttp://gardeninacity.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
