Why oh why do I buy first and research later....?

Picked up a few pots of Asian jasmine at Lowe's the other day cause they looked like just the thing for under one of my trees where I want a low spreading ground cover.

Since reading that it's invasive and a pain to get rid of, I'm having second thoughts about putting it in that location. I do, however have a long, narrow strip (now planted in grass) between the street and a cedar fence that might be a "safe" place to put it, providing:
- it can't climb a 4-ft fence
- won't send runners under the fence
- doesn't produce seed that will be distributed by birds

What do y'all think? Would it be better to just destroy it?

Tia,
Carol
