You've been given good advice. It's a rampantly invasive spreader that will take over vast areas rapidly. It's extremely hard to control, and will be even moreso in hard clay, as the roots are very thin and delicate and break easily. It also spreads by seed that are ejected forcibly through the air, so they land some distance from the mother plant and start new colonies. Also, the sap is caustic and any weeding efforts need to be done wearing gloves - and be cautious not to touch your skin while you're at it, to avoid blistering or even eye damage.

Thanks everyone! I tried to put info in "my page" but it's not showing so I'll brief it here...I've gardened all my life but recently had to downsize to a Studio Apt which I share with my 12yr old Tortie Point Himalayan Queen buddy.We share a nine foot SW exposure bay window to grow Hipps in.Yah,her Cat tower is in the middle and she will soon be sorrounded by pots and blooms.Currently I have a Samba,Moonlight,Madrid,Faro and a Dancing Queen in bud.I had no blooms for Christmas because 2 of 3 shipments arrived frozen via UPS and FedEx.The 3rd from JS was cancelled because they use UPS exclusively.(bummer eh) Fortunately I received a few replacements and also found a few bulbs here locally in our many Garden Centers.Local selections had been on sale for sometime.Most bulbs had been picked thru and looked very unpromising.I had already had my fill of bruised,dark,oozing sick partially frozen bulbs already.From what I've read here ALL of you have had this lovely experience eh? A great gal named Kathleen at Easytogrow is sending me a few bulbs Monday.We did a test run of a few bulbs via USPS already and that worked great.No frozen crispy soon to be mushies! I went to RC today to order a few more.I'd especially like to try "Showmaster" and "Exotica"Unfortunately they are not accepting any USA orders at this time.It's really quite sad that JS is sitting on all those Bulbs that they cannot get out because of Temps.I've bought from them before and always recieved FAT healthy bulbs from them.If they would opt to ship USPS by buyer choice.They'd have a customer right here! You think? funny eh..In the last few weeks here (sans blooms) and bitter cold of Minnesota.I could come here and see all your posts,the pix and read.I'm blest and humbled by all the experts that keep this Forum alive and blooming.You're unique and amazing people.It's going to be an adventure hanging here with all of you.There are many bulbs that I want to try and that will all come in time.I heard mention of Importing from Maguires? Count me in! One I'd like for sure is "City of Grafton" See the wish list has started and I know of this CHAD syndrome.I must keep in mind my window space and if my Cat buddy gets ticked I might be asked to leave......lol Peace.Mark Pix will come with Blooms Also,I travel Quebec,Quebec and to the North at least twice a year.I have done so for many years and it's home away from home.I love the Culture,People and Natural beauty there.You bet I speak Canadien French also

Welcome salpal, glad you came out of lurking. I think all of us have been lurkers in the past. I spend a lot of time on the Florida Gardening forum. I love Passiflora, Herbs and Veggies & Fruits. I grow a number of orchids and Plumerias as well as many more tropicals. I am into Butterfly feeding and breeding. In the winter, The Amaryllis Forum is my home. I've learned so much here. I have cross bred a number of varieties and have lots of different seedlings. There is something serene and majestic yet exciting about growing and breeding Amaryllis and I can't get enough. This is a great forum and I am so happy to be a part of it! I love my friends here like family. Welcome aboard!

Linda, I live in the Cities and my favorite greenhouse is Tonkadale in Minnetonka. They have a very nice selection of succulents - I think pot size is 4" - and the price is right at $5.95. They also have smaller and larger sizes as well. They get their succulents from a wholesale grower in North Branch and I've been meaning to contact them to see if they'll let me drive up but just haven't had the chance. If you're up for a trade at some point, give me a holler. Lisa
