Jeff---

We are still talking apples and oranges....
The ones I pull up are the biennial, regular FMN's. NOT the perennial Brunneras.
I have 2 nice, big Brunneras-The bigger one is Jack Frost.

1--Here's a clump of them still thriving in my WS bed. See all the seedy stems all over?

2--Same clump but full of all new growth. Not sure where this is coming from?
Can't be from seed--they would not grow that fast. Could be last year's seed ?

3--Here is the seed-filled thingies on the stems. This is what I cut off and dry.
Wondering IF I did not pull the plant up would there be similar new growth from the base??

4-A clump of FMN in full bloom.

5--Jack Frost brunnera in bloom--which looks very similar. AKA--perennial FMN.
