This plant is rampant in my garden. I've moved it to the back yard, but I can't get rid of it in the front. Every year more comes up even though last year I dug up the whole bed and removed every single root I could find. It's back again this year too. So I'll be digging again.

Goes great with black eyed susans and cone flower but it's definitely too aggressive for me.

Hi Candy,

Yeah, I saw a hint of that this year. I pulled out the one by my swimming pool and really thought I'd gotten all the roots, but lo and behold, it's coming up again. I can see where this could be a problem for some folks.
