I love the look of the plant, and the bees really love the blossoms, but I have to keep pulling volunteers or it will literally choke out all of the other plants in my herb garden! It not only sprouts from dropped seeds, it also sends out runners that pop up everywhere! I've had a similar experience with lemon balm. I'm going on 25 years since I transplanted one 2" pot and it is all over my 1/3 acre! Beautiful plant, though.Debbie M..https://www.blogger.com/profile/13758927892246058714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-76924776340477132542020-10-17T02:14:11.542-04:002020-10-17T02:14:11.542-04:00Hi Elizabeth!

I keep telling myself I'm going to try some, but it looks a lot like a succulent to me and that kind of freaks me out! lol <br /><br />LisaLA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-64234157804672991782020-07-12T22:15:06.750-04:002020-07-12T22:15:06.750-04:00Purslane is like a superfood.

As far as herbs go: oregano, thyme, sage, lavender, rosemary, tarragon, lemongrass, fennel, basil and echinacea have all behaved themselves in my garden! I'm sure there are many more, but those are the ones I have experience with.<br /><br />LisaLA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-6153519951854537082020-05-10T14:54:34.697-04:002020-05-10T14:54:34.697-04:00The herb I have found to scatter itself is Purslan...The herb I have found to scatter itself is Purslane. I put it in my herb garden last year not knowing it will rapidly reproduce itself. I had it all over in the herb garden and this year it is in all my pots that I had near the garden. It's growing in pots with other plants and in pots by themselves. Anyone want some Purslane???Rose Feltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615538324744135216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-37613740449685807912020-04-03T13:50:03.261-04:002020-04-03T13:50:03.261-04:00so what plants are nonivasive?so what plants are nonivasive?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-90262677845187705122019-07-11T09:39:43.983-04:002019-07-11T09:39:43.983-04:00Mine too!

They form a mat that is very strong and almost impossible to pull apart which makes them very hard to remove. If you leave a piece no matter how small it will reproduce. I live in zone 3, you would think our subzero temperatures would hurt them, but not even remotely. carmenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994454977251081471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-86389633464940749852017-10-26T15:24:06.052-04:002017-10-26T15:24:06.052-04:00Thanks so much for joining us at the To Grandma...Thanks so much for joining us at the To Grandma's House We Go link party.
