People dumping it on local informal rubbish tips may cause fairly large infestations to develop. I've seen a pretty good patch on a shaded Seattle hillside, in or near a city park. Yes, people here dump their garden crap in city parks and other public land, as well as undeveloped private property. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be undeveloped, my friend's Camano Island place has knotweed and giant morning glory out by the arterial because that's where somebody dumped them one day.

Here is a quick GooglePage I did on this pesky plant: http://westernwilson.googlepages.com/falselamium

I think I did show this before, should check the past pages before I post, I guess. It's more suited to the more temperate regions, it's a little 'touchy' but in this slightly more milder climate it does ok, would do better with more rainfall and perhaps 'just-right' speckled shade. Tis a lovely ground-cover. B.

Has nobody got any suggestions?
