I thought about doing that too, but the problem was that other plants could end up with the dreaded disease. I had read that even veronicas could end up with this disease and the year before I put in a number of veronicas in that are different sizes and colors. Couple that with the fact that leaf hoppers are found in weed beds and the house that is directly behind me is vacant and has been all year - we figure another year before it hits the sheriffs sale, so another year that it will be vacant and a weedbed - it just wasn't worth it to me. Earlier in the season I started filling the coneflower spots with other plants. I have some clematis coming from the Chalk Hill sale to fill the spot below.
