THE LEAVES ARE LIKE NOTHING I HAVE SEEN,THEY ARE MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN THE FLOWERS,NO PROBLEMS WITH PESTS.  -  Saturday, May 17, 2008 Great for sunny banks you can't mow. Reviewed By: Sue (Chattanooga, TN.) 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.  -  Wednesday, May 07, 2008 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.  -  Tuesday, April 15, 2008 Be careful! Reviewed By: Meg (Iowa City, IA) I found this to be most unattractive in a partially sunny area--it was pale green and blotchy with none of the pretty reds and yellows. It spread VERY well underground however and took me 8 days to dig it out  -  Monday, October 01, 2007 Great Ground Cover! Reviewed By: L (Jamestown, NY) Rating this plant depends on what you want it for. For a ground cover, I give it a 5...as a garden plant I'd give it a 1. I am growing it in a zone 4-5 area with no protection. It is a very pretty plant with it's multi-color leaves, flowers aren't significant. The problem arises with it's invasive habit...I don't think I can kill it. I have been fighting it in my flower beds but I am now in the process of moving it to make rings around my trees so that I don't have to mow up to the trunks. I think, 3-4 foot rings will work out well...if it spreads out, it gets mowed off. If you can contain it, you are going to like it. The smell is strong when working in it, one benefit to that is the deer and rabbits don't seem to bother it.
