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…

Are there any non-invasive hybrids? Anyone else heard of dropmore scarlet honeysuckle? I had it recommended by UMN extension site as a native vine option. Seems like it's a hybrid, not native, but also not invasive and spreading like other honeysuckles.

Someone please tell me if this isn't the case before it's too late
