I get maybe one summers groth out of them here in the desert, then even the
seeds die during the cold winter time.

There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the
universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the
Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be
brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the
heavens.

These plants can get like the weeds. They drop many many seeds and tubers
is
deep, not so easy to remove them all. We can not dig them all out so
this
year I will use Roundup on them. They took over iris bed. After years
they
get to be tall ugly plants with red flowers.

Depending on your climate only. They are in no way weedy up here.

They grow back and reseed easily, but they are easy to kill. Just knock it
over or pull it out during spring or summer, and it's dead. If they are
crowded and/or don't get enough sunlight, then they will grow tall and
spindly. if they get good light, they will grow into beautiful flower
covered bushes.
