Re: Petasites japonica
Those are about 4-5' tall? Are you saying that it looks worse during the summer?

They like a lot of water otherwise they don't look so good!Alan_L wrote:Those are about 4-5' tall? Are you saying that it looks worse during the summer?
I should check to see how tall the ones I have are, the last I looked they were in that range, possibly larger.

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.

I recall mowing them down last summer as they looked crappy - not drought related, I don't think.

Re: Petasites japonica
Mine has never done anything exciting. Maybe too much shade, not for lack of water. So I move a little piece to a sunny place along the pond, and something I think ate it, muskrat or goose, not sure. So will have to divide it again and try to get it started in more spots.
