pretty foliage
Reviewed By: murray (hoodcanal, washington)
THE PLANT SPREADS A LITTLE TOO WELL,AND WHEN THE CUTTING THE PLANT BACK THE BROKEN FOLIAGE SMELLS VERY STRONG, PUNGENT,KIND OF LIKE BATTERY ACID. THE LEAVES ARE LIKE NOTHING I HAVE SEEN,THEY ARE MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN THE FLOWERS,NO PROBLEMS WITH PESTS.

Great for sunny banks you can't mow.

If you need a fast filler that is pretty in full Sun. Plant it and it will spread and kill out all grass etc. You can't kill it. Has a very invasive habit...Don't where you can-not contain it. It works great on my hillside bank I can't mow. Used total vegetation border line to keep it from spreading.

Extremely Invasive
Reviewed By: Sue Scott (Peoria, IL)
I discovered moving was the only way to get rid of this. The leaves are pretty, but they do not form a dense mat. The problem is that roots can go down a foot or more. I completely dug out a perennial bed to get rid of this--unsuccessfully. By the end of the summer it was back. The roots are brittle, and any pieces that break off grow. Use with extreme caution.
