| Posted by Bonehead (Pacific NW - Zone 8b) on Jan 14, 2016 1:07 PM This is an invasive plant in Washington. It has escaped cultivation and has established itself in our parks and forests, where it literally strangles mature shrubs and trees. It can, however, be used judiciously if care is taken to prevent unwanted spread. It makes a beautiful accent to outdoor events, woven through trellises and as table decor.
