This is one of the oldest plants in my garden and I adore it. However.... When I first got it years and years ago, I seem to remember it being rather aggressive if planted in a good location - good light, good soil, regular water, but that was a long time ago. I moved it to total shade, crappy soil, competition from tree roots, no water (other than rainfall even during drought) - and it's behaved very nicely. In fact, it constantly amazes me how much abuse this plant can take and still look good all season. Well, I'm getting rid of that bed and need to move it again. I'm thinking a spot in a much, much better part of the garden with regular water etc. Will I regret this? When I was digging out a clump yesterday, that thick, dense mass of roots kind of scared me.

| I have it in a spot with good soil, good light, and regular watering. For my climate/conditions/soil etc it seems to behave very much like Monarda in that I have to do some pulling around the edges of the clump in order to keep it from spreading too much. Granted, it's a little bit harder to pull than Mondarda (the Poly' roots/rhizomes are deeper in the ground than the surface hugging roots of Monarda), but it's not too hard to do. Best of luck!
