I saw this plant in the garden centre and thought it was really attractive so I bought it. It says on the label that it's good for ground cover, but having thought about it now, I don't think there's anywhere suitable for it in the garden, particularly as the label says it is vigorous. I think that's code for 'if you plant this in your garden you'll never get rid of it'. The roots protruding from the bottom of the pot certainly look sinister. I think I'll split it and grow it in pots on the patio rather than let it loose in the garden, which I'm sure I would come to regret.
