It's a great plant, it never looks shabby, it increases well by runners and seeds, who could say it is an invasive? It takes a little while to get going, each plant will flower in about 2 years from a runner, then sends out another 2 or so runners. Mine is growing into the bed at the back of it, I have taken out those which grew on the grass edge.

They make tubers at the end on long roots, so you have to be careful when lifting them.

Last year they still had some berries in late March, the season was late so there's still leaves etc around not cleaned up in the pic. I noticed one germinating the other day when having a clean around the area. The seeds do germinate easily if left out, those covered by leaves or found their way to another part of the garden, but not many grow this way. It doesn't seem worth the effort to grow them from seed when they make runners. I can 'put you some in' Neal!
