catzgalore, and you will have TONS of seedlings for the rest of your life even if later you decide to get rid of this invasive plant.

I started one in 2002 allowed it to flower for 2 years. I began to notice TONS of seedlings before I realized its bad habit. Out came ROUNDUP. Even this years, I had to pull several seedlings around my Hibiscus, which replaced it. Oh yes, the roots are deep even on seedlings. Make sure that you deadhead before it drops the seeds.

It is a pretty plant and I would love to have it but I don't have room for such selfish plant that takes over a garden.

Below is the one I grew.
