I've read that this plant is on the defra restricted list in the UK. It's legal to grow it on your own land but an offence to allow it to spread to other land, also an offence to plant it in the wild.

'Herman's Pride' is the most popular cultivar of this European species, and is more commonly sold at conventional nurseries than the species. I have not seen it sold at the big box stores that have garden sections. It is not one of the big popular perennials, but I do see it occasionally in gardens and landscapes. It is a very nice and reliable herbaceous plant. The cultivar differs from the mother species in having less rounded, more narrow & pointed leaves (lanceolate) and in having the silver variegation being more regularly marked on the leaves. I have not seen it eaten by deer, but it is noted that slugs can be a problem.
