Gay, Thanks that's the answer I needed! Especially since tomorrow I go pick them up. Marge reassured me they wouldn't romp and now you. Somewhere I got the idea they were rompers and I vowed this new garden I wouldn't get any plants that weren't polite neighbors.

I have a feeling I have a romper in the new garden. I dug it up last year to move it and had quite a few sprout in the same place this year. So now I have to dig it out again and next spring be dilligent when any volunteer and dig them out. Problem though none of my references said it was a problem child. The plant? Salvia uliginosis. In fact American Horticultural Society says its clump-forming. Loves full sun but I have it in morning sun afternoon shade. And is a moisture lover. I love the color of the flowers though. Anyone have any experience with this one? Maybe in the PNW it is a problem child because we do have lots of moisture?
