It is a process of some planting, seed flinging, elimination and ignoring it completely.<BR/><BR/>Frances a solid green backdrop of the Vinca could be good for some inventive accents. I think Kim's idea of Hosta might be good. I could draw a line or pattern with a big leaved variegated Hosta. And theys plenty of Hosta up here for Christopher C.

That slope next yr. will be so pretty. You won't even know that the soil was disturbed.

Though if you get or inherit Undulata univitatta, which is what I have and which breeds faster than rabbits, you will be awash in hosta before you can blink and might be rueing the day you ever let it into your garden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-53495204832644532382008-10-06T08:32:00.000-05:002008-10-06T08:32:00.000-05:00I like your organized chaos!

I have the vinca minor also. Lots of things can grow among it successfully, like hellebores, and I like that mix, they both bloom at the same time.
