Jane, Crocosmia/Monbretia are also stoloniferous - so it may have a subterranean invasion as well... -|<ipp ________________________________ From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> on behalf of Jane McGary <janemcgary@earthlink.net> The Crocosmia mentioned here by Robin Hansen, popularly known as Montbretia, is common on the Oregon coast and many people think it's a native; it is a pest there, and a clump in my neighbor's yard has seeded through the fence. (The same neighbor planted a "wildflower mix" that caused me a lot more trouble, mostly with a Geum.) I always try to dissuade people from planting flower seed mixtures, which generally contain a few ferocious self-sowers.
