@christeentranchina what's her trouble

christeentranchina

She spreads by runners. Think wild blackberry bush. I pull them at least once a week. But, she flowers like this from spring until a hard frost. The bed I have them in is raised so they are not hard to pull up.@ktemory

@Acetaker the spread by runners.....all over the place here. I've found them 3 ' away from the plant. They are really easy to pull up. They are worth it!! They bloom from spring until a hard frost here. @SikoMa I think this beast could make it anywhere hehe

@SikoMa I really love them too. The only problem is, its not the plant that I was told it was..I try to research first because, I've had a plant that was invasive and it took years to get it out of my yard ......I was lucky I was able to. Most people never get rid of them. Sad to say but ,she seems to be the same way. They have sent runners over 5' away. ...this is only the beging of their second year I've had them ( scared )!

Yikes. Hope you can keep them in their place. Lol. Did you put them in their own flowerbed?

@SikoMa they are planted in my front landscape bed. I'm just pulling runners when I see them....its almost everyday.

It is a bit tough to keep plants in check down there. Prime growin conditions, usually.😉

@lovestogarden it's a Himalayan Indigo, Indigofera heterantha. I agreed it was Indigofera but looked further and ID the right one.😊

@lovestogarden I hope you get a kick out of this. I think it is a Indigofera Decora. In some of the discriptions i found, it stated Wisteria like flowering.

Help me identify this plant. I believe it may be Chinese False Indigo. The beautiful pink flowers cascade . Also, does anyone know how I can locate people in my planting zone on this app??

@amandapalooza I've done it a couple of times as well. Looks like you need to add it it every plant. I'm in Denham Springs. I was hoping this would be more like a forum set up. But the people I've had the plesure to speak with have really been nice.
