If Anyone knows what they are called or anything about them (transplanting, there seeds, etc..) PLEASE let me know. Thank you!!!!

Here is a good site with pics [URL="http://www.hort.wisc.edu/mastergardener/Feat ures/weeds/damesrocket/damesrocket.htm"]http://www .hort.wisc.edu/mastergardener/Features/weeds/dames rocket/damesrocket.htm[/URL] Quote \| Reply \| Report

My dames rocket blooms in April and the blooms are in a long cone shape at the top of the stalk. My phlox started blooming in May and is still blooming. Quote \| Reply \| Report

kissy73179 Joined: 6/02/2006 Location: Posts: 3	Posted: Jun/03/2006 1:27 PM PST I was planning on going to the nursery to try and get both phlox and Dames Rocket. Can u give me any help on the best way to plant them? Or should I just pull some from the roadside? Thanks for your help Quote \| Reply \| Report

I know because we had a thread on this last year and we all thought we had phlox when we didn't. I did not buy mine, just showed up one day and they really do spread quite a bit. I pull up the ones where I don't want them growing in my garden. I have a spot for them and they really do spread. If you live close to the woods, I am sure they will eventually show up in your yard on it's own. Quote \| Reply \| Report
