Four years ago I planted 30 bare root Virginia Waterleaf. I was warned about how aggressive it is, but I’m trying to reclaim a wooded area infested with invasive plants, so aggressive natives are part of the strategy. I never saw more than a handful of them emerge in the intervening years and they were always tiny. Now I have this monster and it is thriving!

I hope she’s happy here. I’m trying to establish a healthy, native understory and introduce a variety of plants. I’ve done a lot of seeding and planting bare root perennials, but this is my first big splurge.
