Fern-leaf well describes the plant that I'm still pulling occasionally, two
years after a decision to remove it from all my beds.  I doubt you'll be
bothered much this year by its invasive nature.  The problem will come next
year and the year after.  Yes, it certainly will return next year.  Mine
were a bit floppy the second year, so I put a small hoop around them.  The
third year I needed a much larger hoop, and the fourth year I would have
needed a hula hoop. Yowza!
