Usually, I have no problem purging a low performer from the garden.
This one however, has “Sacred” in its name and is supposed to be lucky.
Is it therefore bad luck or sacrilege to kill it?
It is said to be rare. How is that possible? It keeps multiplying. I keep dividing…
It is said to be pollinated by slugs. Just what I want in my gardens!
The blooms look like little pineapples until they turn brown. Then they look like a tiny corncobs.
Mine have never produced the bright red berries. Maybe I don’t have the right slugs?
It is evergreen, but it smells like formaldehyde.
So now, I have divided two giant clumps again.
Now I have more of this ugly plant.
I bought the Rohdea japonica /Japanese Scared lily from a friend.
I am not sure why. It has never been attractive.
It is deer resistant, so there is no chance that my four-legged friends will help me get rid of it.
Such a conundrum!
Anybody want some?

Um, I know a place for it. The gully far away from your house! It can surely survive in the woods.

I will put them under the fig.

Such a conundrum. It feels wrong to discard a plant for being ugly, but I am guilty of having done this. Sometimes we gardeners have to be ruthless. Say sorry to it. And maybe it wants to be released from its state of despair?

Another name for it is “10,000 years green.” I honestly don’t think it ever dies.

Do you follow Jessica – the rusty duck? I’m sure she would be interested in anything that keeps the deer away

I know Rusty Duck. If she were closer, I’d take her all of them.

Sometimes you just have to ask things to leave the garden. Composting is a viable and eco friendly alternative. Freudian slip there, Japanese Scared Lily..?

I will mail a box of them to you and see if Florida can kill it. Ha

Florida probably would kill it! But, no thank you.

I am moving them ALL under the fig tree. I am calling it my “Good Luck” garden and drinking Lucky Buddha beer, so I can make a Lucky Buddha bottle tree in it. Now there’s a silver lining!!!!
