The importance of being polite...lol...
A friendly nurseryman (after I had bought a few dozen plants from his place), gently offered me a small pot of jaborosa integrifolia, taking for nothing the fact that I had vigorously declined to buy it 10 minutes before...
Poor me...
I had, so far, resisted all aegopodium and houttuynia offers, but this time I had nothing else to do but take the plant, and say "thank you" with a wide smile (or was it a grin?)!!!!
HELP !!!
Don't tell me once more that it is a first rate invader in most places...I know!!!!!
But is it possible to keep it in a container? Together with invasion control, I think it would be nice to bring it straight under my nose, instead of disgracefully crawl through the lawn to smell its lovely fragrance !
Or could I plant it in a buried container ? Did any of you try this?

I wish I could help you Zephirine, by writing something tremendously wonderful and intelligent about your plant but, I can't. I'm not familiar at all with it.
I just wanted to comment that I love the way you write, I feel your emotions!
Here's to you, "half-desparate, half-hopeful". Here's to the Hopeful part!
I'd like to see what this plant looks like. It must have saving graces if someone would "crawl through the lawn to smell its lovely fragrance!"
Hey Gardenbuddies, can you help Ms. Zephirine?
