  • Dig it out. And offer to family, friends and neighbors. I would also install edging or a border.

      Hi, while I do love it and they smell beautiful, I will be pulling some out and then try to control its spread, so I'm hoping to find maybe some flashing or something that will go in deeper than traditional edging to keep it where I want it. Good luck to you also.
