RE: Lamium thugs

Gooseneck Loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides) is wrecking havoc in my
perennial border. It started with a "gift" of 3 small plants 2 years ago and
this year I must have pulled 50 young plants and I am sure I did not get
them all. Will systematic pulling eventually get rid of them ? I knew the
plant is invasive but my border had empty spots and I thought .... I am not
sure what I thought. My other problem is thermopsis caroliniana (False
lupine). I had this early blooming perennial for several years (I actually
moved it from my old house 5 years ago) and it was always behaving well. All
of the sudden last year it appeared everywhere in the border and as I found
out it is spreading by the underground roots. Unlike the gooseneck it is not
listed anywhere as an invasive plant, so I just want to caution other
gardeners that this might happen -while I am pulling. Sophie
