| Author's Notes | I have used this plant a few times in gardens and it holds true to its nature of spreading rapidly. The spreading habit of this plant was nullified in my plantings by driveways and walls. In one garden the area was full sun, but as the trees grew larger and shade increase the Gooseneck declined. |
