Positive echoes On Oct 3, 2004, echoes from South of Winnipeg, MB (Zone 3a) wrote:

This plant doesn't seem to be hardy in my climate, and so far I have to save seeds and start each spring. It certainly is not invasive. As it doesn't spread from the root and is not a prolific seed spreader, I don't see it being any more invasive than other plants that seed themselves. Could be spread around by the birds and little critters.

Negative wnstarr On Oct 14, 2003, wnstarr from Puyallup, WA (Zone 5a) wrote:

This plant is terribly invasive. I planted it in my flower bed and in two years it had spread to cover an area of 15-20 feet. Would strongly advise to NOT plant this plant. Have seen area's were it has spread throughout pastures and roadsides. It is on my list of worst 10 plants ever introduced as a garden plant.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Alameda, California
Edgewood, Washington
