I bought this as a "rampantly growing groundcover" (native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean) 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. Thus far, I'm not disappointed: it has spread nicely but far from uncontrollably, and managed to colonize that previously difficult part of my border.
