Very invasive!
I was recently told that it's an effective way to combat ground elder, although whether there's any truth in it.......

Nice photo........Yes, Very invasive, I weed mine to control the clumps and pop the stems of flowers in a small glass vase, they look and smell lovely!

Lovely photo, and I am delighted to hear that they will complete effectively with ground elder ..... GREAT! They can complete with that invasion from next door. Lol.
