It is considered a terrible weed, but my friend grew it with great panache and kept it confined. It grew at the edge of his pond, loving the water.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695711319295383137.post-79696039407952760972007-11-30T20:58:00.000+00:002007-11-30T20:58:00.000+00:00I haven't seen any around here but I wish I had it...I haven't seen any around here but I wish I had its lovely.<BR/>Like th eblue tint too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695711319295383137.post-90365074343722408292007-11-30T07:30:00.000+00:002007-11-30T07:30:00.000+00:00This plant looks simular to the ones growing up th...This plant looks simular to the ones growing up the street not far from me, except I never seen the leaves get as big as these.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640362402042596214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695711319295383137.post-33748932302656731882007-11-30T04:17:00.000+00:002007-11-30T04:17:00.000+00:00Well I kinda like the Hogweed sound Partner...Soun...Well I kinda like the Hogweed sound Partner...Sounds a little bit country!!
