Long ago we had our backyard xeriscaped, and one of the plants our landscaper used was Mexican Evening Primrose.
This plant is very pretty with bright pink flowers, but it propagates like crazy, and is almost impossible to eradicate. After may years of pulling, chopping and gallons of Roundup™, we finally gave up and decided to enjoy the flowers wherever they appeared, which was pretty much everywhere.
