HI All
Some of you may seen my threads where I have tried to find something that could do well with shade, 3 active dogs and drought. I found this plant in my back yard when it seemed to be the only thing that was green. Josephine named it by description at the swap. Here is a link for anyone else who might be interested in a plant that can laugh at adversity.
Anyone know where to buy it??? My neighbor was trying to get rid of it in her yard, so I guess I need to know if it is horribly invasive.

Horse Herb made it...
It is only invasive if you don't want it there, if you want it, it is great!! I do have some, and you can have cuttings from mine if you like, as well as cuttings of the Frogfruit.
Josephine.
I think I have that and frog fruit above the drop off to the back 40.
I've noticed it has trouble in really sunny areas, yet keeps trying. Invasive...yes...I really don't like it myself, because of its invasive tendencies. I would pay to get rid of it, while others love it!
I guess in part it depends on how much area you have to fill. I have a LOT of area... so something that is a little invasive that fills the area isn't that bad of a thing.
thanks all
I have quite a bit of it, so no need to make cuttings for me. I was only worried that I'd really annoy neighbors if it traveled easily from yard to yard. I am sincerely thrilled that it made it in my shady doggy back yard. Whoopie! I was curious that there didn't seem to be a place on line to buy it. But I've also noticed it in other areas here so maybe it's common if you are actually looking. It's rather like a "where's horse herb" game for me.
Thank goodness it's raining. We had to drive in it yesterday, hope y'all are warm and dry tonight
