Left to go wild, it can become invasive as it seeds profusely and germinates easily. Pulling out older plants that have grown that way will require some effort - esp. in unwanted places. So, pulling them out when they are small will be easier. Its lovely white flowers are a beauty though. Walking close to the old plants with seeds will see them sticking to clothes and hairs. Perhaps this is another way of seed propagation.
