Agree, Bill....very nice plant - don't consider it aggressive tho',
in the same sense that Lamiastrum is...spreads readily, however, and
one I consider a tough guy not needing extra coddling. Does well for
me from fairly deep to light shade in retentive soil. Am not really
certain how it does with intense tree root competition as mine is on
the peripheral of trees (know the roots are in that bed somewhere) -
tolerates shrub root competition fine.
