trackrat Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Andsome, that gorgeous blossom at the bottom is a Laveteria which belongs to the house behind ours.So when it finishes flowering, it gets severley pruned back from our side.

The only problem with them is their weakness. They just don't like a bit of wind. Ours unfortunately did not have a fence to offer support.

andsome Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Just cut them to the ground every spring, then they stay to within 4-5 feet. same as budlia.We have pretty fertile soil, and the damned thing used to grow up to about eight feet every year.

catgate Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I saw a suggestion somewhere that said Harpic was very good for controlling Lavaterial growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
