This is a cute native that is a vigorous enemy of turf farmers, lawn growers and gardeners in Australia. I even had its white roots themselves, after which it is named, turn up in the roots of daylilies that I have purchased.

It is not well liked. In the garden it can be okay as a groundcover but it can take off and strangle plants. There is not much one can do though. It is very, very difficult to eliminate.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
