A little while ago a friend told me he was having trouble establishing
LotV in his garden (like me he's a beginner) and it was only after
reading up recently that I've discovered how invasive this plant can
be.


I've yet to get LotV to grow successfully in any garden I have ever had
and by now, that's quite a few!


I put mine up against a North facing wall in the worst clay/soil/
builders rubble imaginable. They increased like wabbits. Every spring
I dug out the ones that were sneaking towards the front of the border,
potted them up and sold them at boot sales - they were very popular
especially when in flower.
