What is invasive in one place may not be in another. I have been
trying to get pachysandra to grow (acidic, shady. moist conditions)
but finally determined the summer heat is just too intense for it, but
it is invasive in Cleveland, Ohio. My English ivy is growing very
slowly (7 years), yet it grows like a weed in Seattle. To find out
what is invasive, look in your region. Kudzu is definately invasive
in e.TN.
