Only yesterday I performed its annual cull. Necessary because every year it spreads rapidly, its tendrils find their way over next door's extension, behind their side of the fence, even trying to get into the open kitchen window.I only trim it before a major cutback after making sure there are no butterfly pupae on the leaves, and the bees etc. have had their fill in the autumn.Its roots travel a surprising distance around my garden. I find plants coming up in the lawn and flower beds many, many yards away. I haven't the heart to completely remove it - its flowers are quite spectacular - and I doubt anyway that I could banish it completely without major surgery on the surrounding garden.</blockquote>
