Would you believe vinca majors pop up all over the place in our yards over here and we class them as a weed. I've pulled out great big clumps of these for many years from various parts of my present and past gardens.

Do they take over if you don't keep them in check?

Tasteyg these will grow anywhere over here - I find them popping up in amongst the rocks or on the dirt driveway! My husband will mow them down with the mower and they just pop back up as healthy as can be! There are about four different colours (one is very pretty) and they are indestructible!

How big does this get?

Mlne are the vine type, they spread as groundcover rather than grow upward & are fairly invasive but easily trimmed back or pulled out. The more upright plants I tried as annuals last year but they didn't fill out much.
