Warning: I saw a neighbor's garden get wrecked by a new plant last week

Three years ago she planted what she thought was a nice ground cover from a local nursery, but it spread under the fence and choked out half my vegetable patch in Portland last month, so has anyone else dealt with a plant that just takes over everything?

What kind of plant was it? That sounds exactly like my nightmare with creeping bellflower. A friend gave me a single plant a few years back and it was a huge mistake. It sends roots down super deep and spreads everywhere. I spent all last summer trying to dig it out and it still came back. Some of these pretty plants are just weeds in disguise.

Wasn't that a mint invasion?
