I can be fairly ruthless - but not with plants I like. So they can take over - as with Crocosmia 'Lucifer'. Root pruning doesn't work with the Euphorbia unfortunately and, although it can be chopped back really hard and will regrow strongly it does weaken the plant. If I do get it in the ground again I might have to treat as a short term resident and remove it when it gets to big - but have a successor seedling coming on to replace it.Trainer Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777701301974490461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219483201777307292.post-51125306424158719012011-08-25T02:24:57.609+01:002011-08-25T02:24:57.609+01:00It is a lovely plant, but I'm familiar with th...It is a lovely plant, but I'm familiar with the dilemma of plants that I love, but that love me and my conditions a bit too much. Is this a plant that could be kept in bounds by root pruning every few years? (Of course, if you're like me, you make promises to yourself to do that kind of maintenance and somehow never quite get it done.) -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
