Pinellia

Any Pinellia grows from seed and some grow from bulbils, P. cordata among
them. As far as I am concerned, all Pinellia are weeds. I had P. cordata a
few years ago, and was afraid to plant it. Got another Pinellia after being
assured that it was not a weed. It was. I am finally rid of it. Now, if I
could just get rid of the variegated Houttuynia cordata........ Nancy
