They are prodigious bloomer's, which is why we were pleasantly surprised (innocents that we were) to see the first few show up in the yard. They quickly developed into mounds of deep green foliage covered in lovely pink blossoms, each about the size of a silver dollar......
I've been locked in mortal combat with them lo these past 15 years. They are highly invasive, and they pop up all over the yard. I'll do a search-and-destroy sweep and pull every shoot I can find, but they spread by sending their runners out great distances through the soil in much the same fashion as a type of knotweed (which they may be).
I'll think I've finally beaten them only to face a fresh offensive come springtime. Here is a photo of these delightful tenants:
If I could just corral and maintain 'em in one spot I would be happy to agree to an armistice...
EDIT: I'm in zone 9
