Thanks for the warning Peter. Actually I have not been too concerned about invasiveness up to now because of the harshness of our climate. "Invasive" has usually meant that the plant had enough vigor to actually grow here. However, I don't take the warning lightly because the climate is changing so I am not being as cavalier as before and will take steps to plant whatever I may get with invasiveness in mind, thank you. For instance a bit of mint I planted took years and years to develop a good enough plan to spread, at all. Of course then it did a very good job and I am now pulling mint :) Colleen NE Calif. -----Original Message----- From: pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Peter Taggart Sent: Saturday, April 06, 2013 2:49 PM To: Pacific Bulb Society Subject: Re: [pbs] Species Alliums being edible? some of these allium species can be quite invasive... be cautious if you have conditions in which they might spread.
