Invasive or aggressive in Minnesota #865915

Asked April 25, 2024, 3:36 PM EDT

I purchased Campanula Blue Waterfall from an online garden center. Now I’m uncertain if this is the creeping bellflower that takes over. The plant I purchased is a ground cover and many online garden centers sell it. I do not want a plant that acts like snow on the mountain or lily of the valley.

Peach Tree #865914

Asked April 25, 2024, 3:34 PM EDT

I have a peach tree, about 5 feet tall, been in the ground since last summer. I must not have walked in enough because it's leaning about 45 degrees. Better to dig it up and redo or to stake it straight?

Shrubs compatiable with Ajuga. #865905

Asked April 25, 2024, 3:03 PM EDT

I have an area bordered by my front steps, sidewalk, and front and side area of the home. In this area I have planted a boxwood hedge, in a square. I have attempted to grow an attractive ground cover around the boxwood, to fill in the area in order to eliminate the need for mulch. This area faces straight south without any shade so the sun can get fairly intense. My question, will Ajuga choke out the boxwoods? Can Ajuga handle that much sun? Is there a variety that is less invasive and more sun friendly?
