I wouldn't consider it invasive because the plants that pop up everywhere are easily plucked out by the root. They are individual plants... but they do scatter & seed anywhere they want to. Now the mexican petunia - it's invasive because it multiplies by runners and they are very hard to pull up.<BRMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-33365323518089441512008-11-09T15:49:00.000-05:002008-11-09T15:49:00.000-05:00darla, I was supposed to be in Tally this weekend....darla, I was supposed to be in Tally this weekend.
