AVOID THIS PLANT
Reviewed By: Nicole (Springfield, Virginia)
This plant is highly invasive and the roots smell like rotting fish! Weeding it is a nightmare as the smell seems to be a migraine trigger for many and it's just replusive. Worse, it will replicate from _any_ part of its root system left in the ground. Sure, it's pretty but that's not enough to buy this noxious weed.

Be careful!

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

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.
