Did anyone respond to you Pamela? If not, here's the poop - in
California, it is extremely invasive and problematic in the garden.
Roots are right at the surface so you can't grow anything under or

Has anyone in the Med countries had experience (good or bad ) of

reading a lot negative comments (invasiveness etc) especially from
California/Florida. Plants don't appear to become invasive here
(Costa Blanca).

In Western Australia it's proscribed as a weed for the same reasons .....
