WEED WATCH: Don’t Plant a Pest!
July 2008
Have you ever planted something in your garden, only to find that it does a little bit too well, and spreads to take over the entire bed? A friend once gave me some lamb’s ear, Stachys byzantina, which I planted in a bed that borders my lawn. The plants grew well, expanded to fill the area, and produced pretty pink blooms. Once the bed was full, however, the lamb’s ear kept expanding. Now I pull pesky sprouts out of my lawn each year. However, it does very well with a minimum amount of effort and water, and the sprouts are fairly easy to pull, so I’m not ready to get rid of it yet.
