Until I have flower beds for them to invade, I really don't mind having it along my house. It attracted a family of Carolina Bluebirds to live in my yard and I'll take that over flowers any day.
I have two toddlers who tried to sneak eating them before I found out they're not poisonous (neighbors said they were snake-berries...they are not). They are edible, just not very tasty.

This plant has been a thorn in my side for the last several years. I have no idea how it got here, but it takes over everything, including my lawn. It spreads by runners and does exceptionally well in damp, shady areas. Nothing seems to phase it and it has tried to invade every flower bed and vegetable garden I have.

Shade/Part Sun. Creeping ground cover, 4-6". This is a sweeping ground cover, swallowing everything beneath it. It's threatening to wipe out my Creeping Jenny and Sedum acre, and that's in a very poor soil/part shade area! It's ideal for areas where nothing else will grow, but has to be kept on top of or it will escape into the lawn and spread rapidly to a point that it would be hard to stop.... it's a bit daunting how rapidly it swamps over anything in it's path! It should be considered highly invasive. I'm considering pulling it all out and burning it out of fear it will take over everything. It sends out shoots before the plant even matures, leading to "strings of plants" all connected. (zone 4)
