It was my understanding that it was invasive but so far that doesn't seem to be the case in my experience. I was actually hoping it would spread faster than it does. I had a major cold spell hit after I planted them and many died off, however the ones that survived seem to be pretty hearty. This spring was the first time they started flowering. They look great and are pretty sturdy once they take root, but again, I wish they spread a little faster.
