Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

#notmyphoto #notmyplant #trueblue #greatcolor but does anyone know whether these are invasive? I'm already in a pitched battle with the Cossack Asparagus and the Lemon Balm...

I just learned it dies if it's exposed to freezing temperatures so it would have to be a houseplant for me here in the frozen North, @KariSamuel
