[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Highly invasive plant that should be pulled and avoided at all costs. Yet, lazy landscapers love it b/c it's nearly impossible to kill on the first try. Because of this, you need not worry about it growing back. Unfortunately.[/quote] Love that for you. Your experience isn’t universal and not everyone wants the same. Having said that, kudos to you! [/quote] Saying liriope is invasive is not an "experience;" it is fact. You can't argue about something being native, non-native but non-invasive, or invasive. There are scientific definitions of each based on zone and climate, and it really isn't up for debate by amateur gardeners. Your sophomoric "Love that for you," which you felt the need to post in response to two different posts, shines a clear light on your maturity level and ability to learn something new.[/quote] Let's not grow tomatoes, oranges, etc in the U.S. then, following your logic. By the way I am experienced gardner. Yes liriope was not here during colonial times, tulips, daffodils, many cherry trees were not either. Guess we need to clear out the tidal basin? Or what industry and govt doesn't matter, only what individual consumers do? Regarding learning something new, meaning accepting what you say as gospel because you say it? No way.[/quote] I'm not the poster your responding to, but tomatoes, oranges, ornamental Cherry trees may be "exotic" but they don't spread the same way invasives like liriope or Japanese honeysuckle do. A few volunteer tomatoes are not taking over habitat, but other more invasive plants are. It's an important distinction.[/quote] +1 The invasive/vegetable comparison was pretty funny tho[/quote] Funny only because it made it clear how little that poster understands about invasive plants vs. non-natives. The comment about accepting accepting what is said as gospel was also ridiculous. Science is science, not opinion.[/quote]
