Planting

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Should you wish to plant this invasive weed, do so where there is plenty of shade and where its spread can be restricted, for instance, plant it between a walkway and a building wall. It will rapidly fill its bed but the wall and path will restrict the spread of its roots.
