Yes, invasive. You can dig out the roots and they still find a way of coming back the next year. But, again, if you have too many coming through then just cut out the ones you don't want. I am fortunate and have a back corner where I let my butterfly plants just grow, I think it drives my yard guy crazy because I will not let him touch that area, but I have butterflies, bees and at least two birds are nesting in there - or will be come spring. I have sun film on a window in that corner and my little Phoebe sits on a branch and talks to the "bird" she sees in the window, she/he is definitely in love with the image she sees.
