In San Benito County, just south (in Hollister) I can report it thrives in
our backyard gravel path. "How pretty," I thought when I first saw it. "What
lovely, heart-shaped leaves! What delicate, gentle flowers! How sweet that
it would volunteer to please me." Now, I eradicate it on sight, which is
often.
