DON'T PLANT THIS IN YOUR GARDEN, not even in containers. It is invasive and its seeds are spread by wind and animal contact. It is considered a potential threat to native plants.
We found it growing as a volunteer in our garden in DC a couple of years ago. It spread quickly and threatened to choke out other plants we were cultivating. We've managed to keep it under control since, but still find it growing every spring.
