Plants that pretty much stay in their place.
I've had no problems with cone flowers or Japanese holly or maples. I sort of like invasive plants but as I age I'm thinking more varied pines about. SLOW GROWING. Only thing I fight with vigor is poison ivy and some variegated ground cover given to us years ago Oh and I also kill Ajuga on site. -- Bill S.

Invasive plants always look strong and healthy. but as I age I'm thinking more varied pines about. SLOW GROWING. So what we want is a plant with the all the vigor of an invasive species, but a slow growing vigor. I've given up on that and am just settling for invasive species that the neighbors don't complain about. I'll let you know when I find one!

I've taken years battling them, and they can take over if you miss controlling them for a month or two. Jeff |

Jeff Japanese Yew is very vigorous; nothing seems to bother it. It trims beautifully, and grows s-l-o-w-l-y, especially when it's small. FWIW. Tony M. |
