Though NC and TN are pretty warm it seems not warm enough for them to be pests. That's great because they are so pretty. <br /><br />Rebecca, I could not reach your blog either. It was weird but did not take me to a bank ad. I've deleted it no problem. It was great to see some spiderworts on your blog this morning. <br /><br tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-5693648322781052312011-06-13T11:49:34.683-05:002011-06-13T11:49:34.683-05:00Unfortunately, the only variety I have in my garde...Unfortunately, the only variety I have in my garden is an Asian type that is impossible to eradicate, spreads everywhere, and is a real nuisance!
