The stems are much hardier and in mild winters will stay and when warm weather comes again, new leaves will emerge ant the plant grows even taller. In harsh winters the stems may die back to the ground but new ones will come up from the roots. This plant has a tendency, especially when the stems are cut back by very cold temperatures, to send out a lot of suckers and form a thicket. However, when small, they are very easy to pull up therefore easy to control.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-39554733455817120662012-11-17T08:38:17.013-08:002012-11-17T08:38:17.013-08:00What a lovely street to walk along under all those...What a lovely street to walk along under all those trees and their foliage.
