I bought this as a "rampantly growing groundcover" from a local nursery, so I can't claim to have been misinformed. It has a reputation for taking over from by spreading from roots and stems (but not by seed). I may come to regret my purchase, but for now have planted it in a section of the garden where I've had a hard time permanently establishing ornamental plants. So I'm hopeful that its yellow daisies will spruce up the place without spreading beyond control. It's only barely hardy here anyway, so maybe it won't even survive. The plant is native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
