    I think - like Mind your own business etc, it's best only when contained by a brick border, etc. I read that it likes to be damp. Like MYOB, I don't think you would ever get rid of it once it's in.

    I also think it looks fab (ferns struggle in my dry garden) but I'm sorry you consider it a PITA!

    I love it too, @Hostafan1, but it is a right thug, having totally taken over one of my shady beds.

    The ferns are always greener on the other / wetter side of the country...

    They are renowned for spreading though aren't they?

    I bought three babies in the hope that I'll end up with many.

    Indeed so. I just dig out the invaders about this time of year and either replant by the lake , or dump them.
