Easy to contain and keep small until you start to pull or dig it. In the one 
location were I had a problem with this plant I had to remove all the soil 
down to about 15 inches and replace with new soil, some small plants still popped 
up from roots left behind and those were sprayed with "Roundup' no more 
problem.  

  I wish I had more plants now (maybe I can find time this summer or fall to 
make a new bed and move in some root cuttings) -- the woodchucks love them and 
did most of them in a few years back. The woodchucks can't get enough of this 
plant species, they would mow every green leaf to the ground every other day.
