I certainly don't want to disagree with your experience but it is not
difficult to control for me.  Probably the climate difference accounts for
this.  But those plants which I call invasive are not those which seed
themselves, because those are relatively easy to control by trimming as you
say.  Rather, the invasive plants are the ones which spread evrywhere by
stolons, like evening primroses or Monarda , which I like but which I am
constantly pulling up.
