A noxious weed for sure, this one is taking over parts of St. John's, Newfoundland, especially damp depressions, streamsides and pond margins. It will also grow in gardens that are not so wet..they are growing in my garden much to my chagrin! Difficult to erradicate as they will regenerate from bits of rhizomes.
