purple heart and oyster plants vs. the weeds

I am new to Florida gardening and posting. I read that purple heart or purple queen is supposed to be fast spreading. I have planted a few plants and am hoping it will spread and drown out the weeds. Do I have to pull up all the weeds first, and be on a regular weeding vigil, or will it just start growing right over the weeds, eventually killing them?. I have some oyster plants too, and they look like they will conquer the toughest weeds. I am having problems getting my purple heart cuttings to grow in small starter pots---no roots after 3 weeks. Any ideas?
