Re: anyone know this plant?

 Donna,
A friend planted a 4 inch pot of 'Fen's Ruby' and by summer's end it had
spread three feet.  She was "mildly alarmed" and thought she would pull
it the following spring.  By spring it had send runners out another two
feet and seeded throughout the border.  This was in sandy soil amended
with manure.
She is still diligently pulling any bits she sees so it doesn't seed in.

  How bad of a thug? Controllable? It sure is a pretty thing, thinking it
  would make a nice border plant since it is so small. Been blooming for
  two weeks already, even with our crazy weather here lately. (record
  lows, not to mention all the storms)

    Did you have any Euphorbia cyparissias?  Cyparissias can be rather
    .....mmmm..........invasive......and can spread by seeds and stolens.
    There are one or two named forms, one is 'Fen's Ruby'.  Can't recall

  the

    others.
