It doesn't creep - it GALLOPS! I am ripping it out and tossing it. I'd love for you to have it, but... Where are you?

i'm in st louis, mo. i know it's pretty invasive. i had some at another location between the sidewalk & curb where it had set boundaries. it grew into mounds & completely covered shrubs, flowers, fire hydrant, stray animals..........i have a spot with erosion problems & have no worries about it's invasive nature.
