My Anemone canadensis has taken over as well. The only saving grace is the fact that by sheer luck I planted mine in a bed where it is somewhat isolated.

I've often had mixed feelings about various plants. I guess my biggest problem here is Purple Wintercreeper (Euonymus Coloratus fortunei). It's a non-native and somewhat invasive, but it's beautiful. And getting rid of it is going to be a BIG job. :(Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.com
