This is just some of the gooseneck in my yard. I planted a couple plants a long time ago and have cut them to the ground and tilled over them and more. They keep coming back and have even started new bushes in different areas of both my front yard and backyard.
This is just one of the plants I have which are basically plant and forget. When I first put them in the ground, I watered them for maybe a week. Since then, I've done nothing.
When winter gets near, I use a week whacker and trim the plant to the ground. Otherwise my yard starts to look messy.
When spring comes around they start popping up and usually by the end of June or beginning of July they flower. The flowers attract bees and birds and butterflies and even hummingbirds.
Do yourself a favor and add some of the gooseneck to your landscape. I have some growing in sunny areas as well as shady areas. I spend time doing things to my pond and deck and have other projects always going on, so plant it and forget plants are the perfect plants in the garden or the general landscape.
By the way, they are easy to transplant.
