Ray,
I grow it for the colors of the foliage; the yellow and red make it a good addition to my hot border and it looks good all summer. If it likes its environment as mine does now it can be invasive but is easy to pull out in my experience. I have also grown it in drier conditions that I have now and it was very well behaved. Either way, it is easy to grow. I bought mine from Bluestone Perennials many years ago but they no longer list it. I did a Google search and found some mail order nurseries that carry it so give that a try. This is a good over the fence plant so try local plant sales too.
Heard this is…. 1) A Nice Plant to have in the garden, 2) Edible and quite good as a stir-fried Green and 3) is it as Invasive as I have read?
Thanks; RAY
