I do not think it needs anything but some soil to hold it down.  I have seen it growing all over the county here in Tennessee.  It is a favorite of flower designers in the fall.  I would be careful about treating it nice though.  Take root sections to make more clumps since the seeds will take a longer time to get the effect you want in the garden.

Nancy...what are the cultural requirements of yours? Mine's in full sun and amended clay soil. Do you know how to propagate them? I'd love a few more. Thanks, Joanie

Jean, I think your plant is Japanese knotweed but the name is now Fallopia.  I have the variagated one which does not seem to out grow the space, especially in the shade.

Don....I'll post pix of the bamboo when Chris gives the all-clear. It's the only bamboo I've been brave enough to try as keeping the sumac and macleaya in check have left me wary of this sort.
