OMG....just finished digging out the monarda! It spread about 5ft in all directions from the initial 1qt pot! It is 3 years old......I dug under the tentacles and followed them back to the center... and back out to the others...rolled it all up like a carpet and lugged it over to a more open area....took off the sod, fluffed the soil some and rolled in the mat of monarda...spread some dirt overall to work into the crevices, tromped it in and watered well......
I potted up a few straggler tentacles in some pots too....hopefully it will survive.
Will be making cages for lilies tonight.....so much to do so little time
