Greetings! 3 winters ago I bought two plants of Melasphaerula ramosa from the UC Berkeley Botanical GArdens. I planted them in my gravel garden and after they had flowered and set seed I sprinkled them around the garden and did so last spring as well. I cannot believe how well they have done! I have about 8 mature clumps that will flower this winter...the original two plus 6 new ones and literally thousands of babies in various sizes (from grass-size to more robust.) I have transplanted a few of the largest to other locations, but then got to thinking maybe I am aiding a monster, this plant clearly likes my garden.

Is is wise to encourage this plant or am I asking for trouble? It is a lovely flowering bulb!

Thanks,

Claire
