Invasive

It´s only invasive if you don´t want it to grow there. I wish my
Crocosmia "Lucifer" were more invasive. Here in my Massachusetts
hill-country garden, it is very well-behaved. In my south Mexican
garden, however, darned near everything is invasive, including the
bananas that tried to grow in the front walk, and our primary tool is a
machete.

I´ll never forget the year the U.S.Bureau of Land Management tried to
refuse our taking a potted banana plant to the high Nevada desert at the
Burning Man Festival, for fear that the seeds would get loose and
produce an invasive banana forest. My daughter tried to explain that if
seeds could grow there, we would be staring at an endless marijuana forest.
