Re: Do You Suffer from One-of-Each-itis?

I usually buy 3 of everything - but place them in different areas of my garden. (I live on 2 city lots.) After one season, at least one of the plants is usually performing well. If the other two plants have managed to survive, the next Spring, I move them to the same location as the one flourishing.

Even if you research your plants well before purchasing, placing the same plant in different spots really gives you a heads up on where they will thrive.
