Do these propogate themselves in a similar fashion - as I understand
it through a network of rhizomes?
Is there a tried and tested way of keeping these under control?
Thanks for any advice

Lily of the Valley is picky about where it settles, and I tend to leave it be. If it interferes with something else, then hefty digging out of roots is the only solution I have found - and it immediately sits up and says "Thanks - lovely soft bed for me".
Japanese anemone is intolerable! I dug it all out of a largish bed, and am still digging out little offsets. But apart from weedkiller this is the only way I know to get rid of it. The white one seems less invasive than the basic pink.
