Thanks to the two previous writers. I apologize, I should have mentioned that I have Artemesia Silver Mound Schmidtiana. I'll wait for spring this year to cut them back. I think they splayed because first of all, they were somewhat root bound (though healthy and within the splayed areas you could see new growth, tiny leaves). They had gone into flowering mode, and I did trim all the flowers off. What a beautiful plant--I know it's common, but I love its fluffy rounded shape. Really pretty next to the Little Spire dwarf sage, also common,that I planted which has such vibrant lavendar flowers. I remember reading in a thread about gas station or mall plants. It just reminds me that you should garden for your own sake and plant what you like. I love people who have "show" gardens, or have unusual varieties of plants. But I also admire simple gardens full of marigolds and zinnias and Knockoput roses. There is beauty in many common plants, or why would they be "common?" The lady I bought the small silver mound from had a huge display of artemesia that looked exactly like the schmidtiana ones I got, except they were a variety that grew HUGE! Three plants took up this huge area, and quite tall too. A giant silver mound! I wonder what variety those were? The mound looked about 4 feet high or more, and at least 6 feet wide. Thanks again, Leann

The older plant could go into a pot rather than hanging basket. It can get kinda tall.

Hello; I have overwintered cannas. I divided them into 5 tubers & have put them into two 8" pots, half burying them. They are in a room with 20C temperature but not in the light. Some of them have sprouted green leaves. my question is ,I did not fully bury them. is that a problem? Also they aren't getting a lot of light.I plan to move them out in May. Will they survive inside till then.

Isn't it fun to see something we have in such abundance selling for prices like that? I've just been pulling Lygodium, the 'Japanese climbing fern' which I see listed sometimes for ten dollars or more. Never planted it--guess the birds did. And butterfly ginger, which I love but could do with less, and that awful Rice Paper Plant.
