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.  -  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.  -  Saturday, June 30, 2007 Great Colorful Plant Reviewed By: S (Scranton, PA) Nice vibrant red color on the tips of the leaves. Great for planting as a border on the side of a home, sided by a paved driveway.  -  Wednesday, January 28, 2009 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.  -  Wednesday, March 14, 2007 Planted in PA Reviewed By: Pam (Allentown, PA) Buyer Beware. I bought and planted in November. The good news is that the retaining wall is nicely covered in new growth from the runners. The bad news is that my entire law is as well. All 20 feet to the front of my house.
