Someone said "it's pretty" --I think so too---but if it grows in mounds and is killing something I pull it out.
But I really do like the little flower --so I potted it up in hanging basket --------------WOW--IT IS SO NICE.haha

People have even asked me for a cutting ---I tell them what it is and point to it in there lawns--but for some reason they don't believe me and ask for a snip of my mine ---My neck is sore from all my tisking and head shaking .
In someways I am glad it.s around ,when the drought hits in late summer--it's the only green thing out there.

Hi Petal,
I feel the same way about my side yard that gets little or no sun. If it would only stay in its boundaries...but it doesn't, and creeps over and over and over till it is way beyond my boundary line. From a distance it is a great ground cover...but only from a distance. I am forever fighting it in my daylily gardens. Oh well.
Nice to hear from you! Thanks.
