obediance plant
I have bought an "obediance plant" - (sorry, only name I was given.) - A
friend has told me it can spread uncontrollably like a weed - so i have put it in a large pot, instead of my border. Can it also spread easily by seed? |

I suspect that it is invasive in the US, rather than here, but perhaps someone with experience of the plant will chime in. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

I had to erradicate it, it went everywhere but allthough I originally grew it from seed I seem to remember the spread was not from self sowing. -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

I bought it in a small pot from a nursery, because I was intrigued by the fact that the tiny trumpets can be swivelled round the stem to a certain extent and remain at the angle it was placed. Hence the "obedient plant". :-) Damn! Now I've de-lurked I must introduce myself elsewhere! -- Gordon H |

I would be delighted if it spread around as I have many friends who would be glad of a chunk. Has any one noticed if it is a favourtie on the slug menu? Just trying to account for its disappearance. If its not on the menu, I'll give it another try. Spider |
