Dear Angelo, In my backyard in College Station, Tx Zone 8b-9, A. neapolitanum is one of the very few ornamental onions that can live and flower. And it does so modestly - multiplying but not taking over! So there must truly be a place for everything. Cynthia W.

I can't eradicate it, at it self sown from not far wild populations. Anyone knows an effective herbicide that I could use on it? best regards Angelo Porcelli Italy _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php
