Veronica popularly known as curtain creeper is one such creeper that is pretty invasive It will not leave you in a hurry. Just when I think I have got rid of it I once again see it with new shoots.
Veronica is a pretty vine that also gets clusters of flowers but if not controlled it will eat up the garden.
Some creative gardeners however will capitalise on the ease with which a veronica creeper grows and create designs as is seen in the photo uploaded here
Patience is not my middle name and so I will find it difficult to use it although I do have creative ideas.

I have had this vine for many years . When it appears where I don’t want it I just uproot it and sometimes plant it somewhere else
Have you created any art work with it?
How wonderful, I just bought this vine a couple of weeks ago. I wanted some privacy from my neighbours lol . Now I have an Idea what to do with it.
It is also called curtain creeper and my mother used is as a curtain.
Never thought of it but you could do something creative with it.
Trouble is, that I want to plant climbing beans or vegetables..
They are not invasive and I suppose you can always grow them
The only invasive plant I have is the Japanese honeysuckle.
I have quite a few but have no time to create any designs using them.
