[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You mean Oenothera biennis? It's native to our area and, therefore, cannot be invasive. It may be spread but it's very pollinator friendly and I have no problems controlling the spread by deadheading and weeding.

For me, a difficult native plant to control is anything in the mint family like Monarda (bee balm) or Physostegia virginiana (obedient plant)

Miss Manners obedient plant is said to be quite well-behaved.

Anyone with experience?  (Just planted three of them.)[/quote]

PP here. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! If you can, report back in a year. I've been digging out mine that's in the sun all weekend. The ones in partial shade aren't so bad but I'm so over it. [/quote]

You can give them away on your local native plant swap group. People will even dig them out, saving you the trouble. There is one for VA on FB.[/quote]

I had no idea!  Thanks for posting!  I just requested access to the group.[/quote]

There is also a NOVA plant and garden share, which is not limited to natives. Between all the swap groups, I have received a lot of plants. I haven't been native gardening for long, so haven't been able to give back as much, although I do share when people are generous.[/quote]
