I have two toddlers who tried to sneak eating them before I found out they're not poisonous (neighbors said they were snake-berries...they are not). They are edible, just not very tasty.

It's ideal for areas where nothing else will grow, but has to be kept on top of or it will escape into the lawn and spread rapidly to a point that it would be hard to stop.... it's a bit daunting how rapidly it swamps over anything in it's path! It should be considered highly invasive. I'm considering pulling it all out and burning it out of fear it will take over everything. It sends out shoots before the plant even matures, leading to "strings of plants" all connected. (zone 4)
