you noticed that I did not mention it----for the same reason that you stated. Some things are just too invasive for me to, in good conscience, recommend. But you are right, it does work for deep shade. Now if only it could be controlled it would be perfect!

I also did not mention bishop's weed (Aegopodium podagraria) for the same reason.
