Great info, Gloria, thank you for sharing it.
Reading this made me think again about whether it is so bad to grow native plants from areas farther than the recommended 10-50 mile radius that I've heard/read. I do want to preserve unique features of local communities, but I'm not so sure that I have to be so concerned that I brought New England aster here from Western PA, only to find a few growing on the edge or my property here in NE PA with which they will interbreed. |
