Yea, I bought a bunch of vitex after an A&M guy gave a talk. The one in a garden sends up shoots everywhere and has been impossible to kill.

The vitex out in the open and mowed around are more in control, at least on this property, don't know if birdies have dropped seeds on neighboring land. The link below from Fine Gardening August 2010 addresses invasive plants.

The vitex is considered invasive for multiple states, including TX.
