You are sooooo right!
I wish Japanese Painted Fern or Liriope was invasive! OK, Ajuga goes
everywhere, but I don4t think that it is strong enough to surpress Hostas (as long
as they are not minis) Which brings us to the conclusion that we should define
the word invasive first :-)
I think that Asarum europaeum is pretty invasive, if the conditions are
right....
