Hi Cindy! If you want a more vigorous pink cultivar, try 'Pink
Silver'...it's better than BG. I've had BG for about 4 years, and
admittedly, it was a throwaway from work at the end of the season
(November), but it is now only the size of two dinner plates....so it is not
one to worry about. BB, on the other hand, is quite vigorous...but not
invasive in my dry, north shade. If it were in a fortuitous site, I think it
might be a problem. It is fighting with Waldestinia and Lamium 'White
Nancy'....and it's not winning...but it's not losing either. White Nancy is
one of my favorite ground covers. Jean Bawden-Madison, Wi
