Default kerria japonica

Just replant it in a large deep and bottomless pot sunk into the ground that
works fine
use an old plastic planter from the garden thats not fit to be seen
otherwise

I've one of these in my (heavy clay) garden - it has pom pom type yellow
flowers about an inch across. It is going mad - sending roots and stalks

out
everywhere but I've never heard it described as a problem - is it just

me?
And what should I do? I'd rather not dig it all up as it blocks out the
neighbours conservatory which would otherwise overlook us but do not

want it
to take over the whole border - is there any kind of weed killer that

will
just kill bits of it without killing the whole plant? The suckers seem

to go
as deep as I can dig

Just hack it away where you don't want it. The wanted bits can be kept

more orderly if you prune it rather like cane
fruit - ie after flowering remove the flowered 'canes' and tie in the new

ones against your wall or fence.
