Hi Deb,
I live In UpState NY Northern Catskill Region Zone 5a. My Mom gave me 4 plants 2 summers ago. I planted them under heirloom yellow roses and now they are so dense, tall and growing into the grass. My neighbors keep them in huge containers made from farming equipment. I am moving some to under the lilac bushes for weed suppression.
I had no idea this would happen so I thought it important to add that.
