I have the same problem with snake plant. It has infested every square foot of my front and back yard, I keep pulling and snapping off on the theory that it will give up but if you look out my front (facing north) fence the space between street and my fence is a lush run of the stuff. I am resorting to laying down wet cardboard then fine wood chips as a mulch to at least cut down on the stuff where I can do that. As Deb said, someone said that if I could just keep it from getting light and such it would, if not die out, then at least become manageable. I DON'T want to 'manage it' I want ti DEAD!! Angry Angry

Son and grandson did a number of tasks for me from digging up and rerocking a path to moving numerous volunteers to my 'nursery' bed for later planting where I have a bed I am reconstructing. A shade bed so lots of astilbe and hosta volunteers. I think Feverfew will also do well there as it seems to spring up everywhere, sun or shade. Bought a Jurassaic Park and Sun and Substance hosta to quickly fill in the ends, bleeding heart against the house will grow and drape (despite cages) over half the width (area is about 20' long along the west side of the house in a slightly arc's shape. Fence further WEST [correction on direction] (about 6' further} blocks sun except for a few rather hot hours in the late afternoon.

Rosella and my fern leaf have opened their blooms along with a variety of smaller perennials. Siberian Iris can always be counted on, but can hardly wait for the lilies to start later this month, then dahlias starting in July.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
