cornuta 'Black Magic' invasive?

| Anybody have any experience growing this? It's my first violet, and I love it--a gorgeous plant, with beautiful, deep black flowers. I do, however, need to know how aggressive it's going to be in a moist perennial bed with afternoon sun. The soil surrounding is clay, and I've amended a deep site for it with peat. It borders on a similarly amended site for a Dicentra. Will it invade that site? Will it invade the lawn, for that matter? |

| I suspect it, like any V. cornuta, will invade to some extent. Mowing the lawn will keep it in check; it will come to form part of the turf ecology. But it will tend to pop up anywhere it can get started. Hoeing seedlings will prevent it getting started in new quarters, however. |
