Sorry - finger hit the arrow to post! I had this plant all over my yard in Pennsylvania. It's invasive so say the least, and a royal pain in the rear to eradicate. If you ever deal with it with bare hands, be SURE to wash thoroughly with soap and water immediately after! It is highly poisonous to consume, and you don't want to risk eating with the juices on your hands. It won't be pleasant .
