Dear all: In Connecticut and neighboring counties in NY this is considered extremely invasive, and we volunteered three summers to remove them lock stock and roots from river banks and native woodlands and conservancies, along with other invasive species... in mid 90s..I think in this case we had moderate success ... local flora got space to grow and thrive.. And YET in other parts of the country they are still being planted as ground cover and as ornamental ... go figure !!!
Yet, many of us do love the flowers and paint them, photograph them, and watch hummingbirds hover....
