Baptisa can get really really large. Can it be thinned or split. I tried this once but little plants sprang up from the roots everywhere. Thanks for any help you can give

Interesting. They don't, typically, do well once they are disturbed. In this case, they must really like the spot. Aside from chemical means, there is not a whole lot that you can do. What I would do, though, is to take a shovel and outline where you want it to stay. Go deep. This will help to keep them in line, some.
