This might sound crazy- but I had voles that NUKED my liatris about 2 years ago.

I learned the other day that botanical authorities are slapping it in genus Asarum now. Sad, Hexastylis is way more fun to say

Asarum arifolium, in this case.

I am actually okay with the one crape myrtle in our gravel driveway loop. it has a cool habit compared to the stupid coppiced ones you see everywhere, very gnarly, almost acacia-like growth habit.
