However, there is a big difference between the behavior I have seen with helleborine and the
behavior of most invasive species: it does not crowd out other species.
Your description of the plant is the same as I've seen in Central NY. However, somebody from Canada told me that in parts of Quebec, it got into the woods & crowded out native species. So I wouldn't encourage it too much.
