I have an evergreen mock orange (to grow 8 ft tall x 8 ft wide) and a Peegee hydrangea along the cyclone fence where this vinca is spreading. I plan to plant a flowering quince & something else. Trying to create some natural privacy after pulling out old arborvitae a few yrs ago. My question: Have I created an invasive monster by planting this vinca? I need to pull out the delicate Iris and lilies I have planted in this area as they are lost in this jungle. I thought I was creating a low maintenance area. My dear neighbor on the other side of cyclone fence has a yard crew that must spray that area to keep it out of her yard, I am assuming. What was I thinking? I have same vinca on shady east side and grows very slowly. |
