Oh if you like fragrant plants, these ginger will blow you away. Such a great smell! I've got them growing in the ground as well as the bog.

Lovely stuff. I scatter them around and some actually survive the winter - probably not your kinda winters though. I have it in the bog and the ground. SUCH a fragrance...

I have a very heavy cattail plant,I like thats it's tall but wow is it heavy,every year we take it out and trim all the growth,roots.Going to take it out and throw it away,done lifting it out.Any other plants that are tall that don't get so heavy?

I have some cattails, but they need thinning each year. I also have pickers, parrot feather, and hardy water lilies. The water lilies also need thinning each year. They are taking over as much as the cattails.

That was supposed to be pickeral, not pickers.
