I hope so, my Mom was so excited about her potted plant surviving the first winter down here... and seeing the pretty berries, and now there's tons of this stuff around her yard. Spider plant did the same thing but at least stayed in a patch, and much easier to dig up. Then there's the pretty variegated Vinca vine, which barely struggled to survive in her yard in central OH, but has managed to spread over a huge area of one of her beds here. I don't like anything that forces someone to have so much of it, the latter 2 trip people trying to walk around in them, not to mention the invasive exotic thing. For something to look at, they are so pretty though. That's how they get around. And being native is definitely not equal to being pretty or garden-worthy. Can't go wrong with real ferns though, probably happy in place of a-fern if one is after that kind of look. Many pretty choices among them.
