Re: Pinellia tripartita - is it a weed?

From: Tony Avent <tony at plantdel.com> on 1997.10.23 at 23:38:34(1479) Nick: We have grown P. cordata, P. pedatisecta, and P. tripartita for 8 years in our garden. We knew P. ternata was a weed and declined to plant it. P. pedatisecta is now being banished from our garden, as it simply spread too rapidly. P. tripartita has behaved wonderfully, and while it reseeded some, it all stays near the mother plant. P. tripartita 'Atropurpurea' had reseeded very little...unfortunately. I wish I could enourage P. cordata to spread, as it is absolutely stunning! I hope this helps.
