It does indeed spread so much that it is difficult to control. I liked it the
first few years after I bought my one (1) plant and I didn't try to stop it's
spread.. Now it is everywhere.
Also, one should be careful when pulling it out of the ground. The stems and
roots exude a bright yellow dye that is hard to remove from clothing.
