Well, Tracy, I pull up the babies if they go where I don't want them
to...it is a good spreader and a great groundcover, but pretty vigorous for
the border. I don't consider it badly behaved as it behaves just like a
groundcover ought to...it covers ground:-) But, I'd think twice before I
put it in a definite "border" or "bed" with smaller plants. With larger
plants or in a shrub border, it would make a nice underplanting.....just my
2 cents US:-)
