Although this plant can become invasive in warm zones, I love it because it is so easy to grow and has lovely pink flowers all summer long. Even though it does 'pop up' in unexpected places, the pink flowers are always welcome in my garden - it doesn't crowd out other plants, just compliments them! These make nice container plants in colder zones - great houseplant.
