Lucky you to have both doing well :-)


Yes. They are both lovely plants. Some things I can't grow, of
course.

They love you or hate you. I've put them in several spots in various
gardens and after a few years they disappeared.


Yes. The trouble is that, where they like the conditions, they are
the most appallingly invasive thugs. I didn't mind them taking over
most of the bed too much, but they are burrowing under a path,
undermining a patio and taking over the lawn. Slight exaggerations,
but not that much.
