I bought a plant today that I'm not familiar with, so I did some
research after I got home. Phooey, it's invasive. One website I found
says "remove root suckers and runners to control any unwanted invasive
spread of the plant" and "Spreads by runners to form impenetrable
thickets in the wild."
Here's the question - are these root suckers and runners above ground
where one can see them to remove them. Just trying to figure out if this
is something that I can easily control or just not take the chance and
get rid of it.
You don't suppose I'll learn my lesson and not buy something unless I
know all the details about it, do you? - nah, never!

P.S. The plant is Symphoricarpos orbiculatus 'Spun Sugar' - Spun Sugar
Coralberry.
