In the spirit of "Keep It On Long Island" (KIOLI) (a philosophy we've tried to follow for everything involved with our project) I thought it important to list plants that are native to this area and purposely avoid imports.

While it's a beautiful plant, I'd discourage it's use for the reasons stated in the above article.
I understand your point of view. My prolific garden was mostly inherited from the seller, who lovingly tended and increased it for decades - one of the reasons I bought this house!! And I have a problem "discarding" plants... so I share as much as possible. Anyone want some foxglove, gooseneck loosestrife, harebell, or rose of sharon?? Also lots of pachysandra?
Personally, I have had NO problems with spreading of buddleia - one bush and one bush only, but maybe my growing conditions don't encourage the "invader"?
I do however have several moutain laurel bushes (mentioned as one of the alternatives in the above link) and absolutely love their flowers!

We may adopt some of your plants late this Autumn or early next Spring if you have any from which you want to part. We're leaning toward a prolific English garden type of landscaping with a lot of herbs and flowering edibles mixed in.

Let me know when you're ready! I'm sure there'll be something you want/can use, including a perennial begonia
