I think there is a miscommunication here between Latin and common names.
The large (30") Snow-on-the-Mountain was probably Euphorbia Marginata -
never been invasive in my garden - actually, I consider it a tender
perennial up here in the Northern Midwest.
The more common invasive spreader (also known as snow-on-the-mountain,
bishop's weed, goutweed, ground elder, and a host of other names in this
area) is Aegopodium podagraria.
Here are photos of each.

height to 1.5 feet - They get larger for me)
