Forgot to answer about the Adenophora - it spreads by rhizomes. They aren't that hard
to pull but I find them everywhere - 5-6' from where I planted them in a single year. They
are pretty in bloom but look weedy when done. I got the seeds from Thompson Morgan,
something like Amethest ?? (I only wrote down Adenophora in my seed inventory. I planted
them in '01 and have been pulling them out since '02).

Here's a cute little bloomer I got in a seed exchange of the Hardy Plant Society. Its common
name is Hawkweed. Hieracium Maculatum. The folliage is a mottled green and its been
blooming for several weeks and just seems to be gaining strength. (Planted last fall, from
seed started in spring last year).
