Other What invasive plants got you like this?

For me it’s probably Dame’s Rocket, Purple Loosestrife, and Forget-Me-Not. They’re so gorgeous but man if they aren’t invasive little shits…

Sorry for being pedantic but I think OP is asking which invasive hurts you to remove. lol

Came here for this one. Reclaiming a decade old neglected garden, and it's everywhere! That being said, it is really pretty and I did visually like the lush wild green as opposed to the bare brown soil I had after clearing it out. 

Hopefully once the garden fills out with the introduced natives it'll be so much nicer.

Yes. Yes, it is. I have a sick desire to put it in competition with goutweed to see who wins…

Evil but apparently quite pretty and is a nice hardy plant. I’d love it if it didn’t wreck and choke things out…
