CUP PLANT - It's a Love/Hate Relationship - PROBLEMS in the GARDEN #6 - @CEGNatives

[@danielwoolman8969]

This is one of those plants I think if marketed right it could be a popular one. The way the leaves hold water and how long the flowers last. It really is a beautiful and beneficial plant for nature. I feel guilty whenever I have to kill one when weeding my garden.

[@CEGNatives]

I agree. Thanks for commenting.

I am going to check and see if I have this one. Tha KS foe the warning about not letting g it take over. I mistakingly planted Canadian goldenrod. I'm trying to control it now.

Oh dear, I know I have started these. My soil is dry in the summer so maybe it will be ok. I didn't know they would be so aggressive. Thanks for the video.

@sannaericditsler4034 If the are in a dry area, you shouldn't have a big problem. It will help if you cut them back before they go to seed. I usually leave about 18" of stem for hibernating insects. Thanks for your comment.

Do pollinators winter in the stems?

[@CEGNatives]

@SMElder-iy6fl Yes they do. I usually cut mine back leaving about 18" of stem. Thanks for your comment.

I have always felt that there is a place in gardening for nuclear weapons!
