I think the variety Sharon has is a less invasive one than the one I'm posting here. Hers may not be considerwed invasive at all. It looks very nice.

The one in this picture gets tiny purple flowers on it but they don't rise above the foliage like hers do and the blooms aren't as prolific as hers. The flowers are this one are down inside the folaige so they're hard to see. I don't know which one this is, never bothered to look, but all I know is that it's EXTREMELY invasive and virtually impossible to erradicate. I've been battling it for 20 years. I rip them out the minute I see them and this one escaped me somehow. No blooms on it at the moment, thankfully. This stuff comes up everywhere. I've even seen it growing out of the tops of palm trees, cracks in concrete, street gutters, downspouts, lawns, etc.

Ernie: I hope this isn't the one they sold you, because if it is, you'll never get rid of it. Sorry to be a downer, but....
